Barcelona: Valdes, Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Puyol, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Pedro, Messi
Real Madrid: Casillas, Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Alonso, Khedira, Ozil, Di Maria, Ronaldo, Benzema
Prediction:Barcelona 3 - 1 Real Madrid
Barcelona have to win as even a draw will not help them. Equally, Madrid cannot afford to lose the game - not only because of the impact on their lead at the top of the table but also because it could severely de-motivate them for the Bayern game. However, a draw will be a satisfactory outcome for the visitors.
In the final analysis, however, Real have defeated Guardiola's Barcelona only once in 14 attempts and they are highly unlikely to improve on that record this Saturday, with 100,000 Catalans screaming for their blood.
