Prediction: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
Barcelona has been poor this season with a number of difficulties faced through defence and mid-field.
The Blaugrana side lack consistency but will look to put all that aside in this crunch as they have won their last 2 matches.
Real Madrid’s performances have been top notch this season and continue their fight to gain the La Liga championship.
They look a formidable side and we expect them to take the honours at the Camp Nou.
Players to watch out for: Fati, Depay, Benzema and Junior.
