The Catalan team is a strong candidate for the title despite
an unconvincing performance in recent times.
Today teams Real Madrid and Barcelona Meet in the final of
the King's Cup in Mestalla stadium in the city of Valencia.
Barcelona enters the match on his bad spirits after a loss
last 0-1 from Granada in the Spanish league, while the opposite with Real
Madrid, who beat Almeria 4-0 and revived his hopes of competing for the league
title this season.
But as we know, nothing can be expected in football, which it
accustomed us always on surprises, especially in cup matches that have accounts
and other criteria for the deduction.
Below we show you five factors that could outweigh the
resolution of Barca in this Clasico despite the difficult times experienced by
the team coach Tata Martino at the moment.
1 - The absence of Ronaldo
Barcelona will missed a large margin to the services of
defender Gerard Pique, which is expected to involve veteran Carles Puyol despite
incomplete physical readiness but Real Madrid absences will be more influential
as to miss the most important element in the offensive line Cristiano Ronaldo.
Royal Group has proved over the past few years, it always
suffers and loses his balance pommel compass without Ronaldo, especially in the
crucial games which could give preference to Barca to settle the game.
2 - Last chance
Cup title is the last chance for Barcelona to achieve the
title this season after coming out of the Champions League and La Liga decline
in the table with 4 points behind leader Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona needs to win more than Real Madrid, who still
competes in Champions league and close from Los Rojiblancos in the League
table, and this certainly will pay for the Catalans players to fight and do
their best in order to return the title to the Camp Nou.
3 - Messi
Although Lionel Messi did not provide the expected performance
of him during the last two games for the Catalan team, but the Clasico Cup will
be a golden opportunity for the flea Argentine to respond to the criticism he
suffered recently
It is true that Messi this season is not Messi, who was
brilliant during the past few seasons as a result of many factors, including
injury and his problems with the media and accused him and his father for tax evasion,
drug trafficking and money laundering
However, the international Argentine promises to be always a
man of difficult games and certainly does not have a better match-up against
Real Madrid even recover again and reconciles Blaugrana fans.
4 - The problem of the second row at Real Madrid
The Meringues suffers from poor performance of the second players
represented in Isco, Murata, Illarramendi and Di Maria
It is True They give a good performance in front of a very
small difference, but did not the required level when they face big Clashes
with a great team and this is what appeared in the 0-2 defeat against Borussia
Dortmund in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
5 - Neutral ground
Barcelona proved in the last Clasico at Real Madrid stadium
within the league it's not affected by the pressure and the team defeated the
Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti amid his legions of fans 4-3.
Cup match on neutral soil stadium Mestalla and this certainly
will free up players from Barcelona and the pressure will make them give their
best.
They have won over Real Madrid at home Santiago Bernabeu let
alone the cup final match on neutral ground, definitely will be an advantage
for Barca.
