A brace from Argentinian supremo Lionel Messi secured an invaluable victory for Barcelona in the first leg, with the game shrowded in controversy as Pepe and Jose Pinto were sent off, and there has been a war of words in the press between the two side’s coaches.
The fourth El Clasico fixture in two weeks should be the most heated of all as there is everything at stake and tempers are at boiling point. If Madrid can score early it would put pressure on the home side, but they need to shackle talisman Lionel Messi to stay in the tie, which is no easy feat. My pick is a 2-2 draw, with Barcelona going through to the final on aggregate.
Prediction: Barca are a tough team to crack with 90,000 Catalans behind them at the Nou Camp and with two away goals to their name Barca don't have to take the game to Madrid. Madrid will have to do all the running in search of the precious away goals and this might leave them susceptible to Barca on the counter. Madrid aren't truly out of this tie yet as they have the quality to find the back of the net against any opposition and if they can keep eleven men on the field they have a good chance of making some in roads.
Predicted Score: Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid (Barca to go through 4-2 on Aggregate)
Probable Line Ups:
Barcelona (4-3-3): Valdes (Gk), Alves, Mascherano, Pique, Puyol, Xavi, Busquets, Keita, Pedro, Villa, Messi
There shouldn't be too many changes to the side that took the field at the Bernabeu last Wednesday, especially with the defenders still missing with injuries. Carles Puyol missed the trip to Sociedad on Saturday, but is likely to be fit by Tuesday night while Maxwell is still a major doubt. As a result, the back four might continue to be comprised of Dani Alves, Javier Mascherano, Gerard Pique and Puyol. Iniesta also missed the game against Sociedad and so we could see Seydou Keita continuing in midfield alongside Xavi Hernandez and Sergio Busquets. David Villa, Pedro and Messi have sealed the spots up front with Ibrahim Affelay, who made an impact upon coming on in the 1st leg, expected to enjoy some game time.
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Casillas (Gk), Arbeloa, Carvalho, Albiol, Marcelo, Alonso, Diarra, Di Maria, Ozil, Ronaldo, Benzema
Mourinho will welcome Ricardo Carvalho back into central defence after the defender served his one-match suspension. He should start alongside Raul Albiol while Alvaro Arbeloa continues in the right back slot. Lassana Diarra should keep his place in central midfield alongside Xabi Alonso in the absence of the injured Sami Khedira. Cristiano Ronlado cut a frustrated figure when played up top as he was taken away from his more effective position down the wing. Mourinho might bring in either Karim Benzema or Gonzalo Higuain in an attempt to keep the Barca centre-backs occupied with Angel Di Maria and Mesut Ozil expected to complete the rest of the attack. Kaka could be an interesting selection option should Mourinho risk some creativity in the middle of the park.
