Real Madrid vs. Barcelona: El Clasico Preview
Barcelona nosed past Real Madrid in the La Liga standings last weekend, setting up an El Clasico this Sunday which could decide a particularly keen title race between the two Spanish giants.
The first leg of the annual two-leg matchup was delayed due to political unrest last fall. It finally got an odd Wednesday time slot the week before Christmas and ended in a scoreless draw. The Real-hosted rematch should be more lively. However, Eden Hazard’s untimely broken fibula certainly puts a damper on things for the home fans.

And, to make matters worse, Sergio Ramos was awarded a late red card to limit options on the return leg.
