It's all about pride for Barcelona and a title push for Real Madrid in this latest edition of 'El Clasico.'Although the Blaugrana have improved since the end of January, they are not yet in a position to challenge Los Blancos for the title. Nonetheless, Barcelona will be hoping that January signings Adama Traore and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continue to impress.
"Throughout his career, he has scored goals. He has a good grasp of space. Xavi, the Barcelona manager, described the Gabonese striker as "mature, intelligent, humble, and positive."Meanwhile, Real manager Carlo Ancelotti is hopeful his club overcomes their habit of putting in poor first-half performances: "It cost us to go into the games with the necessary intensity," the Italian said. "It's a soft spot that we've had and we're going to fix it." "The opponents squeezing us a lot in the first [half], then they lose their rhythm and we improve."
