| EL CLASICO - REAL MADRID VS. BARCELONA | |
| Expert | Match Prediction, Man of the Match |
| Sergio Cortina, Yahoo Deportes |
Real Madrid 3-2 Barcelona:
Barcelona are top of the La Liga table, but Real Madrid seem more
dangerous at this point, especially after their display at Anfield in
Champions League without Gareth Bale. Cristiano Ronaldo will score and could be the key man. Man of the Match: Cristiano Ronaldo |
| James Dickens, Yahoo UK |
Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona: Ronaldo will score but Luka Modric will be the star by dictating the tempo of the game from midfield. Luis Suarez won't be match fit, so I doubt he will last more than an hour. I expect Modric, Isco and James Rodriguez to support Ronaldo to tip it in Real's direction. Man of the Match: Luka Modric |
| Eric Fong, Yahoo Mexico |
Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona: Iker Casillas
will have a great game (it's time for that) and Chicharito could be the
key to the game in the last minutes coming off the bench. Man of the Match: Iker Casillas |
| Joe Lago, Yahoo Sports (U.S.) |
Real Madrid 3-3 Barcelona: Ronaldo will lead
another impressive attacking display that will feature James's best game
in a Real Madrid shirt. Unfortunately for Los Blancos, Casillas will
give up a late equalizer. Fortunately for Barca, Suarez will not bite
anyone. Man of the Match: Cristiano Ronaldo |
| Ian Nolan Yahoo UK |
Real Madrid 3-1 Barcelona: It is clicking into
place for Real right now; Barça is trying to find their rythm. I expect
the Suarez factor to actually slow Barça down while they look for a way
to effectively accommodate Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar. Man of the Match: Cristiano Ronaldo |
| Karel Rodriguez, Yahoo Spain |
Real Madrid 3-2 Barcelona: With neither defense at
an oustanding level, expect a match with goals and opportunities. Real
Madrid will give the ball to Barcelona and try to kill them on the
counterattack. Isco will be the key on defense and the fast-paced
offense. Man of the Match: Isco |
| Federico Saint Romain, Yahoo Argentina |
Real Madrid 1-2 Barcelona: Messi vs. Ronaldo, the Golden Ball winner, is always a great matchup. Messi has the greater partner in Neymar. Man of the Match: Lionel Messi |
| Fernando Vives, Yahoo Brazil |
Real Madrid 3-2 Barcelona: Ronaldo is amazing right
now and Real seems more organized than Barça at this point. Suarez will
score at least one time, but Real will win. Man of the Match: Cristiano Ronaldo |
| Trevor Wilker, Yahoo Canada |
Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona: Without Bale, Ronaldo
will carry Real with two goals. But with Casillas in goal, I expect
Messi, Neymar and possibly Suarez (off the bench at 60 minutes) to see
Barca edge this one. Man of the Match: Neymar |
