Millions of spectators across the globe will watch Real Madrid vs Barcelona come Saturday, December 10, 2011. The greatness of El Clasico would want to be felt everywhere. @ Watch live@

Thankfully for the public, this titanic clash is coming at a right time. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are fresh from a series of successive victories in all competitions.

There have been no major injury report so far. El Clasico’s top stars like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Xavi Hernandez are all fit. Carlos Puyol is even expected to take part in the match after racing against time to be fit enough. The biggest name who may not be given a big role this weekend is David Villa. The striker is seriously struggling to find consistency.

At Real Madrid, the issue is different. The attackers are all in good form. Higuain, Callejon and Benzema have a multitude of goals between them in all competitions this season. Now Jose Mourinho is facing a headache over his starting XI selection. Which players will have to partner Cristiano Ronaldo upfront?

In the first place, what kind of approach will Mourinho order Real Madrid to take against Barcelona? Los Blancos are exhibiting attacking football this season and they’ve been ripping the benefits out of this. No team, not even Pep Guardiola’s Barca, has scored as many goals as Real Madrid in La Liga thus far.

However, choosing to play positive football against the Catalans is a decision that involves risk. Only the bravest would dare confront Barcelona with an attacking system in a fixture as huge as El Clasico.

As one can recall, though, Real Madrid tried to play football but emphatically failed to do so as the Blaugrana humiliated them 5-0 in November 2010.

Barcelona like keeping the ball to themselves and through key players like Messi and Iniesta, they very well know how to punish opponents severely. Even the mighty Merengues are aware of Barca’s cunning traps.

Ahead of Saturday night’s splendid encounter, some insist that Jose Mourinho and his men will show that Real Madrid are no more under the dominance of the Catalans. Others, meanwhile, believe that Barcelona will tear down Los Blancos’ fortress yet again.

Interestingly, Real Madrid’s record at the Santiago Bernabeu ahead of this weekend’s Clasico is perfect. They’ve netted as many as 28 goals in 6 home matches whereas Barcelona have scored only 8 times away from the Camp Nou in La Liga.
