It’s almost here. Only five days remain before Real Madrid lock horns with Barcelona in El Clasico, the almost always exciting clash between Spain’s two top dogs.
Although the Blaugrana have had the upper hand in recent seasons, Los Blancos head into this fixture as favorites, as they currently lead the table. However, complacency must not arise due to several injuries, the biggest being that to Gareth Bale.
Cristiano Ronaldo is available and high on confidence, having scored the winning goal in their last encounter with the Catalan giants. Ahead of the Camp Nou trip, he posted a video with a message on Instagram.
The Portuguese ace said: “Five days to El Clasico. It’s going to go fast; so am I.” Watch in the video below.
The three-time Ballon d’Or was referring to his training regime, having posted several on social media. Barcelona should be wary, as Cristiano is going all out for Saturday’s meeting.
