Real Madrid vs Tottenham Hotspur: A Barcelona semifinal on the horizon? - UEFA Champions League
Following their 1-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk, Barcelona have already booked their place in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League with a 6-1 aggregate score over the two legs. Tonight, Real Madrid look to join them as they travel to White Hart Lane
for the second-leg of the quarterfinal against English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur.
When one speaks of the best sporting encounters in a calendar year, there is no denying that there are some great sporting teams and nations which put on one heck of a show while they’re on the field. However, it’s hard to find a contest in existence that
mirrors the grandiose, skill and intensity of the El Clasico; Real Madrid vs. Barcelona.
As UEFA focuses in more and more to the Champion’s League final, it seems more than just likely that we will witness an El Clasico and this possibility could turn into a reality after tonight, when Real Madrid go to White Hart Lane. But what makes this year
so special is that contrary to the usual, of witnessing two El Clasicos each year, we’ll have four this time around.

Usually, in any match, the experts point towards some players to keep an eye out for, but in a Barcelona vs. Real Madrid match, everybody needs to be kept an eye on because every player on the pitch is extremely talented and will give his absolute best.
However, two of the supposed best players in the world would be on the pitch, playing against each other and that is a spicy affair. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 have set the world alight by their innovation, consistency and finishing. It could be
argued, that when a player reaches a level as these two have, it is unfair to label one as ‘the best’ because it does injustice to the player being left out, since he is only second to the best, and better than the rest of the entire world. Comparisons aside,
Messi’s magic will undoubtedly strike more than once, and Ronaldo’s ruthlessness could break through one way or another.
Regardless of which side a fan chooses to support, the El Clasico will be highly enjoyable this year because both the teams are playing at their best – While the Champions League fixture still sees Spurs in opposition, the two La Liga sides are set to face
each other in their domestic league.
