Watch the Real Madrid vs Barcelona live stream in the Spanish Primera Liga on 16/4/2011 as the Bernabeu side will be keen to restore some pride against their biggest domestic rival on Saturday with little chance of winning the league. Jose Mourinho’s side are eight points behind their opponnets in this live online stream commentary and live online radio broadcast Spanish Primera Liga match between Real Madrid and Barcelona and it will take only a massive collapse from the Catalan giants to allow the hosts to sneak through in the title race. Yet there will be other issues on the agenda for Real to play well and get a win as both teams gear up for four matches over the space of little over more than three weeks. Real Madrid will face Barcelona in this first encounter before meeting them against next week in the Copa Del Rey final, before two more titanic tussles in the Champions League semi finals where they have been drawn against.
The El Clasico has been the biggest game in Spanish football history for decades and this one will come on the back of the earlier encounter in the season where Barcelona demolished Real Madrid 5-0 in the Camp Nou, leading to Mourinho’s side subsequently stumbling in the title race and now a fair distance behind their rivals. There are certain things that count in favour of Real Madrid just as many that would suggest Barcelona will once again triumph in this intense clash.Mourinho has always enjoyed an enviable record against Barcelona although that has been somewhat tainted by the earlier 5-0 drubbing Real Madrid endured in Catalan this season. The Portuguese has led his previous clubs to memorable wins over Barcelona in the past and the most recent was last season when he coached Inter Milan to a steely aggregate victory over Pep Guardiola’s side in the Champions League. However, he does not have the same defensive strength in the present Madrid squad although he does have the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Emmanuel Adebayor to boost his attacking options. Yet the latter is not something Mourinho stresses on but it could also mean the Portuguese developing his full arsenal of coaching tricks should he find ways to undermine Barcelona’s challenge with new methods. One thing is for sure though, Mourinho must find a good balance within his team to stop the triple Barcelona threat posed by Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi. The former might yet to have found the net against a side coached by Mourinho but the Argentine still has the wizardry to conjure up numerous chances for his teammates. Iniesta and Xavi form the best midfield duo in all of football and if Mourinho fails to keep them in check, then his side will be in danger of yet another heavy defeat in their own stadium.
Barcelona will be aiming to create history in this live Spanish Primera Liga online streaming football match by winning the El Clasico against Real Madrid for a sixth consecutive match – something which they have never done and only Madrid has achieved that with previous sides under Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas. Guardiola will be especially keen to get another one over Mourinho especially since the latter has always boasted that his arrival could herald the end of Guadiola’s coachiing dominance in Spanish football. A win today for the Catalan giants would also put them 11 points ahead of Real in the title race and virtually seal the championship, prompting early champagne parties back home to celebrate it. While Messi has failed to find the net against Mourinho in previous encounters, Barcelona will be keen to stop Ronaldo from scoring against them too – something the Portuguese has yet to achieve since his arrival in Spanish football over a year ago. The main concern for Barcelona in Madrid will be the absence of captain Carles Puyol in defence as the retired Spanish international continues to nurse an injury. Gerard Pique is likely to have Sergio Busquets continue to partner him as the latter has done so in recent games.
Prediction: There is no question that currently, Barcelona are a classier side than Real Madrid. However, Mourinho has always had the recipe for success against the club he previously worked for as Bobby Robson’s translator. The defensive limitations of his own Madrid squad though weakens his hand and he must come up with something new this time rather than closing up the channels and restricting the ball to the Catalan visitors. Ronaldo will also need to prove that he is indeed a great player rather than a track bully as he often disappears in the big games – failing to score against Barcelona is strong evidence to prove that. There is still a fair bit of inequality between the two teams though so Real Madrid will draw 1-1 with Barcelona and see their title hopes squashed completely.
