The stage is set at the Camp Nou. El Clásico between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will kick off at 20:30 CET with both teams surely giving their best effort to get all three points even if it would make more sense to rest some players after the FIFA break in order to ensure they have fresh legs ahead of the Champions League Quarterfinals.
FC Barcelona projected XI: Bravo, Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba, Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta, Messi, Neymar, Suárez.
Real Madrid projected XI: Keylor Navas, Danilo, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema.
If those lineups are confirmed, Zinedine Zidane would keep both James and Isco on the bench waiting for their chance to shake things up and help the team offensively when needed. Casemiro's presence in the midfield could be crucial if Barcelona dominate the ball, but his presence could also have a bad impact on Real's offensive display. It all remains to be seen.
