Four things that would make the Catalan Giants feel optimistic about the El Clasico
The Catalan Giants are going to be facing their “arch nemesis” Real Madrid today in a Spanish La Liga clash which is known to be the “el Clasico.” Josep Guardiola’s side are the probably the only side who can stop the Los Blancos as they are still unbeaten
even after nineteen games and they have only drawn two games. However, with the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and the newly signed David Villa, the Catalan giants have been a pretty unstoppable force as well, and this season has been
Guardiola’s best start ever.
When the Blaugrana wearing side are going to face the Los Blancos in their home ground the Nou Camp, they have plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the game and the following are four reasons why they should:
Today is exactly 936 days since the Los Blancos won an el Clasico. The Catalan Giants are the first side to win this prestigious match four times in a row and they are a side that can easily make it five times in a row because of their immense talent.
In the last twenty seven el Clasicos that have taken place in the Nou Camp, the home side Barcelona have won the game on eighteen occasions and they have only lost twice and drawn seven times.
Jose Mourinho has never won at the Nou Camp while being the coach. He visited the Spaniard’s home stadium three times while being a part of Chelsea and twice while being a part of Inter Milan and the most he could get out of the game was a draw as the Portuguese
tactician suffered losses on three occasions.
No coach in the world has beaten Josep Guardiola twice in official matches. This is simply a sensational record by the Spaniard as he has never lost a game against a coach who has managed to defeat him once. This is definitely a “point” that is to be taken
under consideration as it is definitely something that is going to help the team be optimistic about the el Clasico clash; Mourinho is in charge of the Los Blancos and has already defeated Guardiola in San Siro while being in charge of the Italian Champions
and the UEFA Champions League winners, Inter Milan.
