The El Clasico match at Camp Nou on March 22, 2015.
(Baonghean.vn) - The first El Clasico match between Real and Barca at Bernabeu on October 25, 2014, ended with a 3-1 victory for the Spanish Royal team. This made the return "super classic" match at Nou Camp even more heated and exciting.
Bar is at a disadvantage in terms of the match schedule.
The return El Clasico match at Camp Nou has been confirmed to take place on Sunday.22/3/2015This is a match that coach Enrique's team absolutely cannot afford to lose, as it's a mandate from Catalonia. Especially since after 26 rounds, Barça is only one point ahead of Real Madrid, meaning the chances of winning La Liga will be much higher for the winner.

However, Barcelona is facing certain difficulties due to the fixture schedule. On March 19th, they have a crucial match against a strong opponent like Man City in the Champions League knockout round. While Real Madrid will face Schalke at the Bernabeu on March 11th, and will have a total of 11 days to prepare for El Clasico, Barca only has a mere 4 days. For a demanding competition like the Champions League, even though they beat Man City 2-1 in the first leg (Messi missed a penalty) away from home, coach Enrique wouldn't dare bench his key players.
But Bar is hitting the charts.
It seems that coach Enrique was right to impose strict discipline off the pitch but allow Suarez, Messi, and Neymar the freedom to be creative on the field. All three Barca forwards are doing their jobs very well; the Suarez, Messi, and Neymar trio are all shining. Since 2015 alone, the Messi, Suarez, and Neymar trio have scored 39 goals and provided 16 assists.
Enrique also decided to strengthen Barça's midfield by regularly using Rakitic and Rafinha. Besides seeing center-back Pique's resurgence and even scoring goals, Catalan fans were delighted to see Claudio Bravo and Marc-Andre ter Stegen perfectly replace Victor Valdes.
Barca now plays more directly; the midfielders are no longer solely focused on "tiki-taka" but have become more explosive with short passes and medium-range combinations at high speed. Catalan Cules are on the verge of a historic treble win, even though coach Enrique lacks the flexibility in his relationship with the players that his predecessor Pep Guardiola possessed.
Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti is facing a headache with the "BBC" trio, namely Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, and Cristiano Ronaldo. The BBC trio are automatically included in Real Madrid's starting lineup unless they are injured or not fit enough to play. Coach Carlo Ancelotti prefers a 4-3-3 formation, with Bale playing on the left wing, while Benzema and Ronaldo are free to switch positions throughout the match.
The strength of this formation lies in utilizing Benzema's off-ball movement, Ronaldo's goal-scoring ability, and Bale's speed. However, it's clear that the BBC trio aren't particularly good at defending from deep, leaving Real's defense thinned out. It's highly likely that for the return El Clasico at Camp Nou, coach Carlo Ancelotti will revert to a 4-4-2 formation, sacrificing one attacking star. Remember, this brilliant coach has successfully implemented the classic 4-4-2 (at Parma), the diamond 4-4-2 (at Chelsea), and the 4-2-2-2 (at Paris Saint-Germain).
Regardless of the formations used by both sides, the return El Clasico match at Camp Nou at 9 PM (local time) on October 25, 2014, will still be a football feast for fans around the globe.
