Rule of three for Camp Nou


16 days and 16 nights to go, but it is already 'game on' for the Clasico on 26th October. Especially at the Bernabéu. Barcelona's five-point lead increases the pressure surrounding the Camp Nou match and everyone at Real Madrid is aware of the situation, even though before that there is a league match coming up against Malaga (19-10) and a Champions League tie against Juventus (23-10).
The clash could and should mark a before and after for Real's progress in this season's Spanish League. The future calls for 'Los Blancos' not to lose the Clasico. A draw would be a lesser evil.
Ancelotti knows that he needs to have well-defined ideas to face this challenge and that the starting eleven he chooses has to be the best - to then, theoretically, become the usual team line-up for the rest of the season.
The main objective is getting two players - Xabi Alonso and Gareth Bale – back on board for the 26th.
If all goes well, Gareth Bale is a definite as a starter at Camp Nou. If Bale plays, the most likely thing is that Benzema will be bumped from the starting line-up. There is no question about Ronaldo. And Di María and Isco have earned more credits to hold onto their place than the French player. Barça, in theory, will be the master of ball possession, and Real Madrid will find spaces to make runs.
