Ronaldo scored the winner but it was created in Germany by Ozil, unbelievable play! This beauty was also scored one minute after conceding Barcelona’s goal.

In just the last few weeks Barcelona have picked up huge momentum with big wins while Los Blancos continued to draw games. As a result Madrid’s lead has been slashed down to just four points, leaving the title race completely open.

But Barca have work to do too. The team is coming of a devasting lost to Chelsea in the midweek Champions League semi-finals, going down 1-0 at Stamford Bridge. Madrid too lost their Champions League semi-final encounter with Bayern Munich, losing 2-1 in Munich. Thus it is fair to say that there is more to prove in this El Classico match than previously thought.But who will come out top?

Going into tomorrow’s game it seems that Barca has the advantage. Apart from their slip up against Chelsea the team had won the last few games. Form guides suggest that the team are indeed in form and ready to step up to the plate after not losing a game for the last 15 matches. Madrid on the other hand seem to be less in form, with mixed results as of late. Thus it is fair to say that Barca do have the advantage going in tomorrow and it looks like a tough match that will end in their favor.

Our prediction: 2-1 for Barca

After tonights lose to Barcelona for the El Classico, a disappointing performance from Los Blancos, it is officially back to the drawing table for Perez and company. The question is what now? Where are Real Madrid’s weak spots? Lets take a lot.

Defense
There is certainly a lot of talent in the Los Blanco’s defensive line, but the club still has a high amount of goals conceded. It just seems that the talent is not in form, perhaps a shake up is necessary? Maybe introducing a new leftback or rightback as the sides are where Los Blancos seem to be at their weakest.

Midfield
There is creativity lacking in the midfield, even with Kaka there. The 60 million dollar man has been awfully quiet in games, and the rest of the midfielders aren’t chipping in. Perez needs to swap some of them for new creativity, players along the lines of Misimovic and Xabi who pull the strings for their teams, Wolfsburg and Barcelona respectively.

Attack
Higuain can be a solid striker, but he is still young and in big games like Champions League games or the El Classico, he does not produce. In the clash with Lyon we saw him miss clear opportunities, in the El Classico he wasted chances and was mostly quiet. Benzema is a solid sub, he still hasn’t found his footing but he has skill and can produce. He simply needs more time to find his ground. Raul is simply too old, and barely lasts a full 30 minutes, no disrespect to the legend. Ronaldo is the only solid attack option that produces day in and day out, he just needs a partner. Berbatov from Manchester United might be an option, it has been shown that strikers who couldn’t make it in the Premier League could make it in La Liga (case in point Floran and Athletico Madrid).
