Real Madrid vs Barcelona 2013
information of Saturday's hotly-anticipated encounter between La Liga leaders, FC Barcelona, and last season's Champions, Real Madrid
Pre Match
Kick off : March 2, 2013 3:00 PM UTC
Venue : Estadio Santiago Bernabéu
City: Madrid
Referee: Miguel Pérez
Competition : la liga - Spain Primera Division -
Barcelona travels to Santiago Bernabeu after losing to the home team Real Madrid in Copa del Rey earlier in the week.
Real Madrid : Angel Di Maria caused most of the trouble for Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol but the Argentinean is suspended for picking up two cautions against Deportivo La Coruna.
Brazilian playmaker Kaka is likely to take his place but Mourinho could opt Jose Callejon in an attacking position. Pillar of Madrid's midfield Xabi Alonso, who is nursing a groin problem, could be rested with Luka Modric, Pepe and Michael Essien likely to fill in.
Barcelona : Messi missed training on Wednesday after feeling unwell and he looked tired against Madrid but is likely to start on Saturday, but having played so many games, it could affect his energy levels.
Xavi and Fabregas did not work their magic in midfield as reports suggested that the duo had taken pain-killing injections on Tuesday to overcome a hamstring problem.
While Barcelona has no need to rotate their first team players since their next match isn't until March 9th, Madrid will undoubtedly preserve some of its starters for Tuesday's must-win game against Manchester United. We may see Barcelona incorporate players like David Villa, Adriano and Javier Mascherano into their starting XI, while Mourinho fields an XI comprised mostly of reserve players. It will be interesting to see whether Barcelona tries to employ its usual tiki-taka playing style with a greater degree of effectiveness, or whether Tuesday's loss will entice them to try different tactics against the Madrid reserves.
