bwin Sportsblog - Football - Barcelona vs Real Madrid

This Sunday sees perhaps the biggest club fixture in European football. It is the match in La Liga between Barcelona and Real Madrid. With the situation being so close in the league then this will be a very eagerly awaited tie. It will match the likes of Messi, Kaka and Ronaldo on the same pitch....arguably the three greatest players on the planet. You can see the game broadcast at www.bwin.com and bwin have created a special set of football bets especially for this explosive "classic". Both teams are fresh from having good results in the Champions League that has made both of them firm favourites to progress to the knockout stages. Real beat FC Zurich 1-0 whilst Barcelona came out on top in the battle of the giants by beating Inter Milan 2-0. But the history of the two clubs makes this fixture stand out probably above all others. Even Manchester United versus Chelsea or Liverpool cannot compare on a purely global scale. Barcelona have the recent bragging rights and did the double over their great rivals last season and who can forget that incredible 6-2 away win in the Bernabeu. Barcelona also beat Real 2-0 at home as well. But the previous season saw Real Madrid achieve the double with an emphatic 4-1 win at home and a 1-0 win at the Nou Camp. The previous twenty fixtures simply cannot separate the teams with six wins each and eight draws. Barcelona have 30 goals to the 26 of Real Madrid. But the really fascinating part of this game isn't just because we have two of the most successful clubs sides in world football and probably two of the best six teams in the world at this time. It is also to do with the fact that both clubs were seen as ambassadors of different parts of Spanish culture that carries across into matters that go beyond just a game of football. So this game is monumental in every way and be sure to tune in as all registered bwin users can see the game live on Sunday November 29th at 19.00 (GMT+1.00) on bwin.com.......I know that I cannot wait :-) Carl
