It can be that point of calendar year, MM'ers. Actual Madrid will tackle arch-rivals FC Barcelona while in the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu within the initial leg of their Copa Del Rey quarterfinal matchup. True Madrid arrive into your match up limping somewhat little bit owing to some accidents and inconsistent enjoy (as we in depth before), even though FC Barcelona are already hobbled with related difficulties. But in no way dread! Handling Madrid has you coated: I'll stop working a few of the critical matchups (plus some non-matchup aspects) that may engage in into tonight's match up.

Naturally, no Clásico preview will be full without having at the very least a point out in the two sides' final confrontation: back again in December (so prolonged back!) FC Barcelona arrived in to Madrid riding a string of disappointing final results, and trailing their archrivals by nine factors. They left the Bernabéu that night time using a 1-3 win towards a Madrid aspect that jumped out into a 1-0 direct inside of 5 minutes, but conceded a fortunate aim that ultimately direct to their destruction. Each side had been at entire strenghth: Barcelona had however to get rid of David Villa to some knee damage, even though Actual Madrid had just recovered Angel Di Maria.
