El Clasico Match Thread: Real Madrid vs Barcelona

[Anonymous]

Welcome to the match thread of the final El Clasico of 2017 as Real Madrid host Barcelona at the Bernabeu.

The hosts come into this match knowing that realistically only victory will do if they are to keep their title defence alive, having fallen 11 points behind Barca in the La Liga table.

Unbeaten Barca, meanwhile, could all but kill off the champions' hopes this afternoon whilst also extending their six-point lead over second-place Atletico Madrid.

OFFICIAL LINE-UPS

REAL MADRID: Navas; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Kovacic; Ronaldo, Benzema

Don't like the look of our line up. Roberto as RB? Doesn't inspire confidence. A draw will not be a bad result. But I hope we win for rivalry sake.

Ronaldo seems to be enjoying some Christmas gfts from Barca's epileptic defence. Another ref could have given that.
