El Clasico 2013 Related Content

Watch ‘El Clasico’ Real Madrid vs Barcelona live on TV and online – March 2, 2013

Miami Beach, Florida (March 1, 2013) – Set your alarm for an early start as El Clasico kicks off at 10:00 a.m. EST on Saturday, March 2, 2013. Live Soccer TV (@LiveSoccerTV) brings its users information on where to watch Real Madrid vs Barcelona live from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu – whether USA or elsewhere in the world.

El Clasico on Saturday promises to be a totally different game than what the world saw live from the Camp Nou in the Copa del Rey on February 26. Barcelona were crushed in their own backyard and when Angel Di Maria ridiculed Carles Puyol to assist Cristiano Ronaldo’s second goal, there was no way back for the hosts.

Team news

You can count Angel Di Maria out of El Clasico. The Argentine picked up two bookings within 20 minutes at Riazor last weekend and must therefore serve suspension. While he could profit of his absence by refreshing his legs ahead of next week’s do-or-die Champions League match away to Manchester United, other team mates such as Kaka, Luka Modric and Michael Essien are likely to make Real Madrid’s starting XI against Barcelona on Saturday. 

For the visitors, doubts surround Lionel Messi’s availability. La Pulga missed Wednesday’s training session with illness. His colleagues, Xavi Hernandez and Cesc Fabregas had to be given painkilling injections to feature in Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid ref talks: Mourinho pokes Roura with words

Referee Alberto Undiano Mallecano will officiate the semi-final clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Camp Nou on Tuesday night and not everyone is satisfied about this appointment. Interim Blaugrana coach Jordi Roura has warned the man with the whistle and his assistants not to ruin the flavour of El Clasico.

“The numbers [with Undiano] are not good. We still remember that he allowed many fouls in the [2010] Spanish Cup final [between Barcelona and Real Madrid],” Roura told the press on Monday.

“We hope that the decisions [of the officials] will not mark the match and that they will go unnoticed.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Preview

Team news and analysis

Barcelona are eager to knock out Real Madrid from the Copa del Rey but only victory or a goalless draw on home soil will do. Lionel Messi keeps scoring goals for fun in the Spanish La Liga.

However, he failed to find the net in his last two cup matches – at the Bernabeu in the first leg of this Copa del Rey semi-final tie and at the San Siro against Milan in the Champions League. Fresh from helping Barca overcome Sevilla in a comeback situation in La Liga, La Pulga is set to give Real Madrid’s defenders a tough time on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Raphel Varane who saved the first leg of El Clasico at the Bernabeu for Real Madrid will be fired up to shut down Messi.

Will penalties decide Real Madrid’s fate against Barcelona and Man United?

Nothing is lost for Los Blancos in cup competitions this year but success is definitely not guaranteed. Their situation in Europe and in the Spanish Cup semis is the same. The half-time scoreboards ahead of Barcelona vs Real Madrid on February 26 and Manchester United vs Real Madrid on March 5 read 1-1. Will penalties decide Los Blancos’ fate?

The Spanish giants must score to stand a chance of progressing into the Copa del Rey final and UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. “I want goals, more goals!” is what Jose Mourinho screamed during a training session on Wednesday, according to Spanish news source Marca.

El Clasico date changed from 3 March 2013 to 2 March 2013 – report

Miami Beach, Florida (February 12, 2013) – Soccer fans willing to watch El Clasico live next month must re-adjust their schedule as the match has been moved to an earlier date. LiveSoccerTV.com's data team is to update its Real Madrid vs Barcelona schedule info.

El Clasico 2013 – Barcelona’s defensive lapses vs Real Madrid's headaches: Who wins?

The Catalans are hungry to win back the league crown they lost last season while the Spanish giants are striving to knock defending Spanish Cup champions Barcelona off their perch. Three Clasicos are on the menu with the first of those on January 30 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

After a successful campaign last year where they hit a record 100 points in the league, Real Madrid failed to transfer their success to the new season. After 21 games, Los Blancos sit third in the table, 15 points behind Spanish La Liga leaders Barcelona.

Real Madrid have been in all sorts of problems and will be desperate to salvage better results from now on. They have to face arguably two of the best sides in the world Manchester United and Barcelona – in Europe and on the domestic front.

El Clasico 2013: Goals galore with Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and co?

The two maestros have been in the twilight of their careers and have taken world football by storm with their performances. The Ronaldo vs Messi era truly began when Barcelona demolished their archrivals from Castilla 5-0 at the Camp Nou back in November 2010.

Messi was clearly victorious in that contest, scoring for the very first time against a team managed by Mourinho. The rivalry between La Pulga and CR7 has come a long way since then and both men have been very influential every time the two sides have faced each other in El Clasico.

It is impossible to express their quality in words and in their case it sounds true that actions speak louder than words. Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine wizard Lionel Messi are in a constant battle against one another for the right to be called football’s greatest ever player. 

Where to watch the Copa del Rey El Clasico Live: Real Madrid vs Barcelona

The first El Clasico of 2013 between rival clubs Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will be played today in Madrid with a local kick-off time 9:00PM (3:00 PM NY Time). This vital Spanish Cup match will be viewed by millions of soccer fans world-wide. Sports broadcasters are welcoming this extraordinary clash, sure to capture the imagination of the sports world.

Ten of FIFA's 11 best footballers play for these clubs, including player of the year Lionel Messi and runner-up Cristiano Ronaldo. Both are in stunning form leading up to El Clasico with over 50 La Liga goals scored between them already, seven alone in just the last 90 minutes.

The Copa del Rey has become an even more important tournament this year, since it will likely be the only domestic silverware Madrid can win. Many believed that Barcelona could not continue their successful form after the departure of Pep Guardiola at the end of last season, but surprisingly new coach Tito Vilanova has taken the Blaugrana to new heights.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Preview

Analysis

Several factors could decide El Clasico on Wednesday night. They are all being discussed by soccer pundits ahead of this Spanish Cup battle. 

Barcelona have never hesitated to replace Victor Valdes by Pinto in cup matches. Like it happened in the 2011/12 Spanish quarter-finals or in the 2010 Copa del Rey final, Pinto is expected to be in post against Real Madrid. This time, his opposite number will not be Iker Casillas. 

The World Cup winner suffered a serious hand injury against Valencia last week and will not return to action until April or May according to club doctors. Could the omission of first-choice goalkeepers Victor Valdes and Iker Casillas – for Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively – spark a goal fiesta at the Bernabeu on Wednesday?

Ronaldo & Real Madrid hit top form ahead of Barcelona Spanish Cup showdown

Getafe failed to create clear cut opportunities and as a result of which they could not score. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo had a great time in the second period. The number 7 player scored a sensational hat-trick and looks in top class form ahead of the game against fierce rivals Barcelona in the Copa del Rey.

Ronaldo was assisted by Di Maria and Ozil respectively for his opening two goals of the game. The third came from 12 yards out when he converted a penalty. The Portuguese superstar was taken off by Jose Mourinho in the 73rd minute to make way for Karim Benzema. 

Wednesday’s Spanish Cup fixture against Barcelona is a very crucial one with final tickets at stake. Real Madrid have already lost the La Liga. They will face Manchester United in Europe and it is an open secret that the Champions League is arguably the most difficult trophy to win.

Nacho Monreal saw read inside the 75th minute as Malaga were trailing 2-1.

Transfer news: FC Barcelona yet to offer Victor Valdes a new contract, says agent

Meanwhile, Valdes has been quick to retort as he told the media according to Tribal Football:

“I want to make it clear that I have not declared anything about my future. When it is time I will.”

However, agent Gines Carvajal was keen to give out more details on this transfer-related matter. Explaining the situation to reporters, he stated:

“We have not sat down to speak to Barca about the future of Victor Valdes. We have talked a couple of times to Zubizarreta and we have let him know that we would like to talk to them about Victor's renovation, but there has been nothing more.

The world’s two best players, Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, have used text messaging to engage in a pre-match duel.

With 17 Clasico goals, Lionel Messi is just one strike behind all-time top scorer Alfredo Di Stefano. Out of these strikes, 10 have come in La Liga, five in Super Cup matches and two in Europe. 

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo is the only Real Madrid player in history to score in six consecutive matches against Barcelona.

He is eighth in the chart with 10 goals in El Clasico. He shares the spot with two former Real Madrid players – Spain’s Juanito and Mexican legend Hugo Sanchez.
