Many motives motivate Barcelona to win the Clasico

Despite the fact that it is a winning match, the Clasico next Sunday between Barcelona and Real Madrid still has some motives, and more in the case of Barca compared to the king who sets his eye on the final of the Champions League.

Zidane is thinking of resting his main players to avoid any unpleasant injuries, although he remains three weeks before the Kiev final in Ukraine, against Liverpool.

Barca, who have already won the league title last week by beating 4-2 at Deportivo La Coruna in the last leg, have different motives. This is the last match for captain Andres Iniesta, who has announced his intention to leave the club by the end of the season.

Iniesta, suffering from muscle aches, will be the 38th.

The first classo of the veteran midfielder was the one on 20 November 2004 when Frank Rijkaard was coach of the Barça. Iniesta has since played a total of 37 Clasico, 25 of which in La Liga. The Catalan team won 16 of them, tied in nine and lost 12.

Barcelona will also try to maintain their unbeaten record this season in La Liga, where Ernesto Valverde's sons have not lost 41 matches, including 34 this season and seven last season. If they do not lose until the end of the season, No. The championship will make a special taste.

Likewise, Lionel Messi will seek to win the Golden Shoe award to raise his goals in La Liga during the four remaining meetings (Real Madrid, Villarreal, Levante and Real Sociedad).

(31 goals), Chiro Imobeli (29), Robert Levandowski (28), Edison Cavani (27 goals), Alessandro Cavani ), Mauro Ekardi (27), and Harry Kane (27), all of whom will play fewer matches with local teams compared to Barca.

It will be easy for Messi to win the Liga top scorer for the fifth time, especially since he has been away eight goals so far from second-placed Cristiano Ronaldo, the Real Madrid striker.

Mark André Terje Stegen also has the impetus to win the Zamora award as the youngest goal keeper in the Primera Liga this season, although the goal is difficult to achieve.

The German goalkeeper scored 21 goals, three more than Atletico Madrid's Jan Obelack, so the trophy would probably go to the Slovene.

If Barcelona win the Clasico, Catalonia will extend the gap with the Real to 18 points, and if they can maintain that figure until the end of the tournament, it will become one of the biggest differences in history.

The biggest difference was scored by the Belgians in the 1984-1985 season when Terry Venables took over and led Barça to a 17-point lead over the club, who finished fifth in the season.

In the 1973-1974 season under Johan Cruyff, Barça won the title 16 points behind Real Madrid, the same as in the 1947-48 season. The team was led by Enrique Fernandez.

Barcelona, ​​under former coach Tito Villanova (2012-2013), has reached 100 points in the league, 15 points behind Real Madrid, led by Jose Mourinho.
