In football, there are always rivalries that when playing against each other, they paralyze the entire world for 90 minutes. This is due to the history both teams have and especially, the quality that they have on the pitch. One of the most famous rivalries or probably the most famous one and immediately recognized around the world is the Spanish Clásico game between FC Barcelona vs. Real Madrid C.F.
These two teams have redefined the history of football as a whole since they are not only names of European football clubs, they represent moments that have inspired new generations to play football, therefore, both Madrid and Barcelona have helped the sport of football to evolve into becoming a worldwide sport played by millions. Aside from the fact that there is an extremely strong rivalry between both of these teams, there is a sensation of excitement and anxiety when they play against each other because of what they represent. Every time, “El Clásico” is coming, the world starts to be one because for 90 minutes, everyone will be watching and despite of which team you support, this game unites the whole world since the moment it starts.
We are only two days away for “El Clásico” and that immediately means that from now, everyone will be talking about it meaning that a lot of opinions will be heard but something that never changes is the feeling of uncertainty just before the game starts. That means that on that day, no one knows what will happen, that´s the main reason why millions around the world are desperately waiting for this game to finally come due to the fact that in “El Clásico,” everything can happen. This time, it will be played in the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium meaning that the tension will be even more since Real Madrid is coming from a defeat against an astonishing Sevilla, therefore, they want to prove that they will fight to win the competition and a victory against Barcelona in their stadium will definetely be the best way to do it. On the other hand, Barcelona is coming to Madrid very strong despite of Messi´s injury because both Neymar Jr. and Luis Suárez are doing an excellent job on the pitch and on Saturday, if Real Madrid doesn´t build several startegies to stop these two amazing players, it´s possible that a historic victory for Barcelona will happen.
Again, everything can happen on Saturday, the eyes of the world will be on this highly expected game, and from the moment the referee let the game start with his whistle, you can expect everything and what is being felt during those moments are definetely undescribable.

After every glorious Lionel Messi performance, comes the question: “How will football be like without Leo?” After every trophy winning season, comes the question: “How will football be like without Leo?” After every heroic moment the greatest footballer in the world pulls off, comes the question: “How will football be like without Leo?”
After that, comes the optimistic statement: “Let us just enjoy it all while it lasts.”
This is how a culé’s mind works. Fans are fully aware of the impact Lionel Messi has on the team and fear his absence. They fear it even for a single match. One can only imagine the meltdown that will take place when Lionel Messi is no longer part of FC Barcelona. Let’s be honest, everyone has already imagined that once or twice.
There are two things fans will worry about when it comes to Lionel Messi’s absence:
1. His temporary absence during a football season and how the team adapts.
2. His permanent absence which is also known as the day Leo leaves the club for any reason.What about Messi’s influence that is so important? Is it just because he is the best player in the world?
Messi has been the main man in attack for over 7 years. Again, this is not about the number of goals he ended up scoring or the number of assists he provided. This is about Lionel Messi supplying the oxygen to everything related to Barcelona’s attack. If you were to truly analyze Messi’s influence in attack since 2008 you would realize that counting his goals & assists seems ridiculously inaccurate. Messi, in some way or another, has been involved in almost 90% of Barcelona’s results since 2008. Whether by scoring, assisting, sending that astonishingly accurate pass into the area, receiving free-kicks, changing the tempo, dribbling 2 or 3 players to open up play, and many other important little details to Messi’s style of play, the man has been involved in each and every goal some way or another. You can also suggest that Messi’s presence alone can alter how a defender is seeing a match. [excerpts from Life Without Oxygen by BarcaChief]
