Real Madrid vs Real Zaragoza Preview
Real Madrid usually put on a great attacking show when they come up against Real Zaragoza. In addition, they are unbeatable at the Santiago Bernabeu. Well, almost unbeatable; Barcelona forced them to a defeat on home soil back in December.The Spanish giants are poised to destroy Zaragoza on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo will be fired up to continue his proof case against his critics. With his goals against Athletic Bilbao last weekend, Cristiano Ronaldo matched his personal best and the record set by Barcelona’s Cesar (22 goals in 19 games).
Current top scorer Ronaldo (with 23 goals) will feature against Zaragoza as La Liga’s all-time top scorer in the first phase of the championship. The Portuguese superstar scored in both legs of El Clasico in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals. Unfortunately for him and for his team mates, these two goals weren’t enough to push Spanish cup titleholders Real Madrid into the semifinals.

Ponzio, 29, became River Plate's second reinforcement of the Summer after former Juventus scoring-machine David Trezeguet, who penned a three and a half year deal with the club in late December.
River Plate, who were relegated to the Argentine second division for the first time in their entire 110-year history last year, have invested in high-quality players in an attempt to regain their status as a 'big' Argentine club.

The latter opened the scoring inside the 18th minute with an easy header. The defender’s goal made justice to Xavi’s excellent curling ball.
Barcelona vs Real Zaragoza Preview
Barcelona’s players will be turning their attention back on club football, as they look to continue their mission to get back at their best. Their quest for La Liga title this season dropped to a more difficult mode on November 6, after they surprisingly struggled to draw 2-2 with Bilbao.This marked their fourth draw in the league this season, and the consequences are thus disturbing. This has pushed them three points behind leaders Real Madrid, who seem to be taking things smoothly.
On Saturday though, Barcelona have a chance to occupy the pole position, at least temporarily. Luckily for them, Los Blancos have a tough challenge against Valencia - a club they failed to defeat earlier in their on-going campaign.

La Liga Relegation Battle: Who Joins Almeria And Hercules In The Second Division?
Meet the 6 Teams That Could Wave Goodbye To La Liga On Saturday
Real Mallorca—In 13th Position
They went a big step behind in their mission to avoid relegation as they lost 3-1 last weekend to Almeria. Almeria, remember, have only pride to play for just as Hercules. Real Mallorca are now in a tight situation with 44 points like Real Sociedad and Osasuna. On Saturday, they have a tough game against Atletico Madrid.
This fixture actually has so much at stake with Atletico aiming for an UEFA Europa League spot. Ahead of match-day 38, Real Madrid’s local rivals count 55 points like Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao who occupy the fifth and sixth spot respectively. Interestingly, a point could be good enough for both Mallorca and Atletico to achieve their respective targets.
Real Zaragoza vs Real Madrid: Albiol Targets Win As Fight vs Barcelona Continues
Now Raul Albiol hopes for the best to happen for his team. Looking ahead to the fixture, the Spaniard stated:“The match against Real Zaragoza will be difficult and dangerous, because they are fighting to move out from the relegation zone.
“They’ll try to do their best in front of their home supporters. They will concentrate hard, and we’ve got to avoid making them feel confident.”
Real Zaragoza are in fact well buried at the very bottom of La Liga’s table standings. Sunday’s hosts have been enduring a tough time in the Primera Division having recorded only 1 victory in 14 matches. Meanwhile, the situation is far more different for Jose Mourinho’s team.
Inter Milan Can’t Roo-In Barcelona With Lionel Messi Transfer
Barca’s enviable strength seems to be in a decline: their 1-1 draw away to Rubin Kazan a few weeks ago and their third position in La Liga standings seem to reveal so.

Real Zaragoza – Lacking of options
Zaragoza have not been obtaining good results this season, as they are yet to impress in La Liga.
They are just a place above relegation with 26 points out of 26 games, and what makes their match against Barcelona even more important is that a loss at home this weekend could push them to the bottom if Tenerife beat Deportivo Xerez.
In their last 5 matches
Real Zaragoza have picked up only 6 points in their last five league encounters, but at least, they have suffered only a single defeat since mid-February.
1-1 was the score line of their game away to Real Valladolid in the second week of last month, but against Sporting Gijon a week later, Los Blanquillos were humbled 3-1 at home in front of 20,000 fans.
Afterward, Zaragoza traveled away to Madrid to fight Getafe, and the minnows accomplished their mission brilliantly by conquering the Castellans 2-0.

Real Madrid Analysis
Los Blancos can enter Saturday’s match full of confidence; they’ll have Cristiano Ronaldo returning from suspension and a perfect home record on which they can build.
Manuel Pellegrini will not be told twice, not even once, that losing a single point in La Liga is not an option since his side let all three points slip away against Barcelona some weeks ago.
Los Blancos’ reaction and approach ahead of Saturday’s match against Real Zaragoza will be the same as the ones that they had lately against Almeria, Marseille, and Valencia respectively; it’s playing to win at all cost by attacking at every opportunity and scoring many goals.
FC Barcelona vs Real Zaragoza – La Liga Match Preview
This is indeed surprising for a team as wonderful as Barcelona, who had established a 100% record in La Liga earlier on with 18 points out of six 6 games. Nonetheless, they might probably get the chance to redeem themselves on Sunday when they host 13th place Real Zaragoza at the Camp Nou.
Not Easy to get back on track
There is no doubt most Barca fans believe that their side will be able to humble Zaragoza in other to remain at the top of the Spanish League table. For sure, it could be an easy encounter for Pep Guardiola’s team, but the fact that the Blaugrana could feel under pressure due to their reduced lead at the top of the standings could affect Sunday’s game’s result.
