In my opinion Real Madrid have really good chances to avoid loss in today's match up. I don't see Barcelona as so big fav here.

First match between both teams finished with Barcelona win 1:0 on away so they have really comfortable situation and even draw is great result for them.

La Liga is done. Real Madrid have two opportunities for title - Copa del Rey and Champions League and I'm sure today they will give absolutely everything to win.

Without any shadow of doubt, Real Madrid is not worse team than Barcelona and that was very visible in first match as they lost in very unlucky styl - conceded one goal and missed many opportunities to score.

Real Madrid line up looks very strong on the paper, key central defender Rudiger is back and should be available from first minute. It's excellent information for Carlo Ancelotti.

Barcelona is without 3 key players: midfielders De Jong & Pedri and winger Dembele. It's huge blow and for sure Barcelona losing a lot of quality without them.

Barcelona coach Xavi said: "I have the feeling that when it’s our turn to play two legs against Real Madrid, it’s very difficult. How long has it been since they lost a two-legged tie? That’s why I still think they’re favourites despite being 0-1. They can beat you perfectly. They’re still favourites. They’re more used to these games and they’re used to coming back. For me they’re still the favourites.”

在我看来，皇马有很大的机会在今天的比赛中避免输球。我不认为巴塞罗那在这里很受欢迎。

两队的第一场比赛，巴萨在客场1:0获胜，所以他们的处境非常舒适，即使平局对他们来说也是很好的结果。

西甲联赛结束了。皇家马德里有两个冠军机会——国王杯和欧冠，我相信今天他们会为胜利付出一切。

毫无疑问，皇马并不比巴萨差，这在第一场比赛中表现得非常明显，他们输得很不幸——丢了一个球，错过了很多射门机会。

皇马的阵容看起来非常强大，关键中卫吕迪格已经回来了，应该可以在第一分钟上场。这对安切洛蒂来说是绝好的消息。

巴塞罗那缺少了3名关键球员:中场德容和佩德里以及边锋登贝莱。这是一个巨大的打击，没有他们，巴萨肯定会失去很多实力。

巴萨主帅哈维说:“我有一种感觉，当轮到我们与皇马进行两回合比赛时，比赛会非常困难。他们有多久没输过两腿平局了?这就是为什么我仍然认为他们是最受欢迎的，尽管他们0-1。他们可以完美地击败你。他们仍然是最受欢迎的球队。他们更习惯这些游戏，也更习惯回来玩。对我来说，他们仍然是最受欢迎的。”
