It’s been a December to remember. It’s been a month of derbies in England, broken unbeaten streaks in Italy, PSG’s domination in France and the Bayern party in Germany. As for Spain, it’s the month that will feature the first El Clasico of the 2017/2018 La Liga season.
This weekend, Real Madrid will welcome Barcelona to the Santiago Bernabeu stadium where both teams will lock horns. 11 points currently separate both sides on the table and this game might just turn out to be a title decider, depending on which way it swings.
The season so far
Real Madrid had quite a terrible start to the campaign, drawing their first two games and losing to Real Betis in the fourth game week of the season. It was the perfect situation for Barcelona as they took advantage of their opponent’s poor luck and created a gap that has now run into double digits.
While Lionel Messi (14 Goals) and Luis Suarez (9 Goals) feature in the top ten of the league’s top scorers, you’ll have to look further down that list to find the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. The season has been that awkward for the Los Blancos.
Will they be able to conquer Messi and co. and score as many goals as possible?
