Messi's unfortunate injury has had an impact on Barcelona, and the Argentine is Barca's best player in the first half of the schedule, and he has left a void that will be difficult to fill.

Before the start of the national derby, Messi was already enjoying the holiday with his family in Argentina, and perhaps his departure could provoke Ronaldo's state.

Samuel Eto'o is also a trusted element for Barca, having scored seven goals against Real Madrid during his time at Mallorca and three goals after his move to Barcelona, making him a well-deserved Real Marser among active players.

Moreover, Eto'o quickly regained his form after his return, scoring goals in quick succession.

Messi's injury had relieved Real Madrid, but Samuel Eto'o's resurrection had made Casillas uncomfortable.

Although Barcelona has begun to embark on a turning point in the construction of a new generation this season, the chaos in the dressing room is still not over, Ronaldinho and Eto'o do not agree, Rijkaard and the team's big stars have become the main factors affecting Barcelona's results.

Two years ago, a year ago, I am afraid no one would have dared to imagine that the media would have speculated whether Ronaldo and Deco would start in the Spanish national derby, that must have been undoubted.

But for now, Rijkaard will be selling off in his pre-match press conference, and it's not certain whether the two will start.

That in itself also exposes the problems that exist in the Barcelona dressing room.

Bosque was more understated ahead of the game, emphasising the special nature of the Spanish derby, arguing that Real Madrid's 16-game winning streak is not an advantage at Camp Nou, especially given that Barcelona have only lost two home games in La Liga for a long time. And they all lost to Atletico Madrid.

On the evening of November 23. The star-studded Camp Nou was packed.

from more than a hundred countries. Five hundred journalists have already found a place in the stadium to prepare to broadcast or record the 232nd Spanish national derby.

Players from Real Madrid and Barcelona lined up in the tunnel to play.

Qin Xiong, who was wearing the No. 9 battle robe, stood behind Raul, and he did not squint at a combat posture.

When he walked into the stadium, a large number of Barcelona fans in the stands closer to Qin Xiong would boo him.

This kind of boo did not contain a sense of ridicule or ridicule, but just wanted to interfere with Qin Xiong's mental state and prevent him from performing at his best.

Qin Xiong turned a deaf ear and stepped into the stadium with his teammates for the kick-off ceremony.

"Welcome to the Camp Nou, where the 232nd Spanish national derby will take place today, and Real Madrid have already secured the La Liga halfway title with 16 consecutive league wins. And a huge gap of 14 points away from the arch-rival Barcelona!

Even if Barcelona win at home today, they will only be able to close the gap to 11 points, and the second half of the league will still be very difficult to chase points.

However, considering the terrifying momentum of Real Madrid's 25-game winning streak in all competitions since the new season, it may not be easy for Barcelona to end Real Madrid's winning streak.

The worse news is that Messi was injured before the national derby, and the absence of Messi, who has gradually become the leader of Barcelona this season, will inevitably reduce the pressure on Real Madrid.

Here's a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Barcelona started 433.

Goalkeeper: Valdés.

Defenders: Puyol, Milito, Marcos, Abidal.

Midfielders: Yaya Toure, Deco, Xavi.

Forward: Andres Iniesta. Eto'o, Ronaldinho.

Real Madrid started 442.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defender: Ramos. Pepe, Cannavaro, Heinze.

Midfielders: Robinho, Diarra, Guti, Sneijder.

Forwards: Qin Xiong, Raul.

The game is about to begin, so let's look forward to what the 232nd Spanish National Derby will bring. ”

Although Real Madrid arrived at Camp Nou with an unrivalled force, after the start of the game, Real Madrid's posture was a little low.

Because after all, this is a Spanish national derby, a battle of sworn enemies.

The significance of the game, the level, and the level of the technical and tactical confrontation all determine that this is not an ordinary game.

The team needs to be more cautious.

Barcelona, on the other hand, have completely exposed the weakness of manager Rijkaard in the high-level confrontation this season.

There is nothing new in the command, the tactical setting is mediocre, and he is still following the old path, relying on the individual performance of the star.

When Messi was sidelined due to injury and Ronaldinho's form deteriorated and he took off his magical coat, Barcelona's technique and tactics did not show any superb or obvious characteristics.

In the 4th minute of the game, Ronaldinho received a long pass from Abidal's backfield, and after stopping the ball, he planned to break through Ramos, from being blown up by Ronaldinho in a single game two seasons ago, to improving his performance last season, Ramos's progress is obvious to all.

On the contrary, Ronaldinho's form has declined since last season, due to the lack of restraint and restraint in his private life, resulting in a significant decline in his physical condition, and his technical ability on the field may not be too much of a problem, but in some technical performances that need to be supported by physical condition, he has fallen from super-first-class to first-class.

The most obvious difference is that his previous breakthrough is explosive enough to crush his opponent, and his continuous change of direction makes his opponent dizzy and hands him over to his knee.

But now?

Continuous changes of direction in a small area have become rare, and explosive acceleration is impossible to talk about, most of the time it is a failure to break through, and then complain that the opponent is fouling.

Ramos blocked Ronaldinho's connection with football with precision in his first head-to-head duel!

Ramos then didn't go to possession, just blocked Ronaldinho and then let Pepe keep the ball.

Pepe, who was playing in the Spanish national derby for the first time, seemed to be a little nervous, and Eto'o was still a long way from him, so he was in a hurry to clear the football big foot!

This big kick clearance brought football back to the feet of Barcelona.

Toure immediately after possession of the ball in midfield passed diagonally to Xavi.

Xavi looked in front of him and then passed the ball to Ronaldinho.

It can be seen only through this short-term development of the offensive and defensive situation that Barcelona is still organizing the offensive with Ronaldinho as the core of the front field.

Rijkaard seems to lack confidence in his tactical set-up to beat Bosque.

He pinned his hopes on Ronaldinho.

It is expected that Ronaldinho, who won the three teams that year, can burst out with amazing energy and break down Real Madrid's defense by himself.

However, after Ronaldinho was forced by Diarra in a lateral dribble and couldn't get the ball to Eto'o, Real Madrid's defenders were more confident. (To be continued......)
