The classic game between Barca and Real Madrid is not only about the GAME, but it is about the PRIDE as well. Mourinho is the most hated man in Barca as while The special One was still coaching Inter, Inter beat Barca in Champions league semi 2009/2010. Mou has special memory too about Barca when he was still an assistant for the late Sir Bobby Robson and Louis Van Gaal in 1990s and Pep was still a player. Now Pep is a coach and considered one of the most respected coach despite his young age as a coach. Messi will compete with CR about who`s the best at this first leg, and there is a joke that this game is like CR vs Spain as most of Barca players play for Spain national squad, like Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Puyol and some young generations like Pique, Busquet, Pedro. WHo do you think will win?Barca?Madrid?or even..draw?Share your prediction, please...thank you

I am pretty sure that Barca will teach Madrid a lesson. Barcelona has a team that plays in this formation for years now, only Villa and Mascherano are the new faces there, but Villa knows lots of Barca players from the national team. As for Real Madrid, they have made many new signings this season and a new coach. I think that if Real will start to play football against Barcelona, they will be trashed away, and they cannot play so defensive as Inter did last season, because they don't have the defenders which Inter had. So I expect a 4-1 Barca win with Xavi making a wonderful game.

man, this is gonna be a really hard prediction. both teams are playing at their best with their respective best players firing on all cylinders. Ronaldo and Messi currently share the first two spots of the top scorers list in La Liga. both teams are winning handsomely against opponents thrown against them. what more could u expect for going into 29th November's clash - it is definitely going to be a clash of the titans. both teams will be going into this game high on confidence after handsome wins against their opponents in the Champions League.
Madrid will have home advantage. also they are leading Barca very closely in the League table. but Barca is Barca and everyone knows very well what they are capable of. they are the team every other team wants to emulate at present. and they've been like this for the past several years and that's no nonsense. but considering current forms of both teams and their capabilities, advantages and disadvantages, etc. i'd go for a draw. but expect a high adrenaline game of football with lots of fireworks.

For me both teams Barca and Real Madrid are equal in strength, for both teams have different game play to outplay each other. Barca usually plays the ball through the center, and sometimes played it wide while Real Madrid usually plays the ball with pace. Both strategies have their strength and weaknesses, but for me what will prevail is the teamwork. As for me, Barca has advantages over Madrid in this aspect and that will determine how the ball is played. For me, it is Barca 2-1 Madrid. Barca's goals are from Messi and Xavi, while Ronaldo for Madrid
