March 2nd features a match where Real Madrid and Barcelona will play a match in Madrid in a clash of the Copa Del Rey. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 4 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Real Madrid is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid. José Giménez struck first for Atlético Madrid in the 78th minute on a feed from Antoine Griezmann, then in the 85th minute, Luka Modrić sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Rodriguez Munoz earning Real Madrid at least a draw. Real Madrid should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Barcelona recorded a 0-1 loss against Almería. El Toure struck first for Almería in the 24th minute on a feed from Luis Javier Suárez, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Barcelona was frustrated by Almería’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Almería ended the match with the shutout victory. Barcelona looks to continue their winning ways, having won 8 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Robert Lewandowski has been the most prolific scorer on Barcelona in the last five matches with 2 goals. Real Madrid is glad to have Karim Benzema in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals.
