Real Madrid visit Barcelona on Sunday in a Clásico marred by the so-called ‘Negreira case’, in which the Barça side could take a big step towards the title.
Xavi Hernández’s men go into the match nine points ahead of Real Madrid, who cannot afford to fail against their main rival for the national crown.
The Merengue side, who are defending champions, would be twelve points behind Barcelona fans with twelve days to go in the event of a drop at the Camp Nou.
A hole that is difficult to bridge against Barcelona, which has confirmed since the beginning of the season that its main goal is to win the League and that it has won nine of the last ten games in the Spanish championship.
“In case of victory, it would be a blow to the authority. We would be on twelve points, it would not be final, but it would be a coup d’état”, coach Xavi Hernández assured this Saturday at the press conference. (D)
