The best possible way to beat Barcelona – Real Madrid’s point of view (Part 1)
Barcelona are considered to be one of the best teams not only in Europe but in fact, in the history of the game. Josep Guardiola took charge of Barcelona three years ago and the Catalan coach was able to lure players who could make the perfect team.
The Catalan coach decided to buy players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Alves. With such players in the team and the striking trio of Thierry Henry, Lionel Messi and Samuel Eto’o, Barcelona were able to win six trophies in a single season. With this feat,
Barcelona were able to become the first team ever to win six trophies in a single season.
Guardiola later sold Samuel Eto’o as he thought he was surplus to his requirements. The Spanish Giants decided to buy the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, in return. With Ibrahimovic in the team, Guardiola was able to prove that his first season
with Barcelona was not a fluke and he helped Barcelona win a domestic double.
Last season Josep Guardiola had the opportunity to win more titles for the Spanish Champions. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918 and with Henry and Ibrahimovic out, the
world saw the emergence of Barcelona’s MVP’s( Messi, Villa and Pedro). http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Rodriguez formed one of the most deadly trios in the history of Barcelona.
These three helped Barcelona win a European double. The Catalan Giants were able to beat Madrid in the Spanish La Liga and in the UEFA Champions League. However, they lost the Copa Del Rey final against Los Blancos and that is the reason why Guardiola could
not win another European treble.
While playing under Josep Guardiola, Barcelona have managed to get the tag of being the favourites for La Liga, Copa Del Rey and the UEFA Champions League yet again.
However, with tired players in his team, Guardiola is struggling in the Spanish La Liga this season. Barcelona are currently three points behind Real Madrid and Real Madrid have a game in hand.
Now, the two teams will lock horns at Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday. The situation looks to be a must-win for Barcelona as a hypothetical nine point lead over Barcelona might just mean that the Catalan Giants have lost the title even before the second half
of the season.
With Barcelona losing against Madrid in the Copa Del Rey, it was recorded as Josep Guardiola first ever loss against Madrid as a manager of Barcelona.
The Catalan coach always did his homework before facing Real Madrid. His 2-6 triumph at the Bernabeu and his 5-0 victory over Madrid at the Nou Camp is still well remembered by all the Barcelona fans.
This means that Josep Guardiola is going to do anything it takes in order to win the game against Madrid.
Jose Mourinho has tried every trick in the book to beat Barcelona but it seems like that even while dominating against the Spanish Champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 somehow manage to seal the deal with the help of their extraordinary strikers.
This season, however, the situation might be a little different. Mourinho managed to make a way against Barcelona as he played http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 in the midfield and it really helped Los Blancos trouble Barcelona in dominating their usual possession.
