I cannot see Barcelona losing this. The way Real Madrid play, can never beat Barcelona's team work, madrid play as 11 individuals, Barcelona play as 1. No player in Madrid has the work rate of any of the Barcelona players. Messi will play on his best form as he normally always plays brillantly vs Madridl. Casillas will be the best player for Madrid.
You should add this to the main post as another preview of what to expect
If you just watch one video of football in your life time make sure is it this one :D
Real Madrid has no chance if they play attacking football. They need to defend the crap out of them like Inter did last season, but I doubt RM players can emulate what Inter did because they all suck at defending.
There is less difference between Barca and RM than what some of you guys think. I just hope that Barca can pull out a draw at least, a victory in the Copa Del Rey and a win on aggregate in the UCL.
Like Cruyff said, we only need two victories - in the Copa and in the home leg of the UCL. I hope Pep doesn't reveal everything in the Liga match since we already have an 8 point buffer.

It's not all Inter, it's the "Mourinho factor" also.... Real Madrid does NOT park the bus, it's not their style, but Mourinho can always change that if he feels it is needed. The Madrid squad is not the same as the last El Classico. Players have improved, team is working well together/more chemistry, Benzema is in form, CR7 is more of a team player than before. RM players have the right mentality this time around.
And for all of those who doubt Real Madrid......We will see.....People tend to underestimate Mourinho, but they also forget that he has beaten Barca before. I am excited to see which tactics he will deploy against them. I can see RM losing this Saturday or maybe tie, but in the Copa Del Rey and the CL, things will be different.... No matter what though, this will be an exciting month of futbol/soccer, FOUR El Classicos!! Hala Madrid

lol, nicely done sir :-)
Yeah it will be hard for Madrid Mourinho is probably gonna look for a more defensive lineup looking at how things turn out last Classico. I can also see Ramos, Lass or Pepe getting a red card, they are notorious for kicking the hell out of players in these matches ~_~

Guardiola didn't underestimate Mourinho, he ordered his players to play the game they always play and well, 5-0.
Beating Barça with Inter, a team that was built to play a style that puts Barça into a lot of problems, is different than a team based on expanding the play and putting a lot of people forward all around the field. The latter means a lot of spaces for your opponents and Xavi showed last game he thrives in that kind of set up where a lot of freedom will be given to pass and open play.
That being said, I do not think that it'll be in any way a 2-6 replay of any sort, but even if Di Maria, Benzema, Oezil, Alonso and CR7 have been outstanding this season (last couple of games Diarra has been impressive) it'll all come to settling and dealing with nerves, and, as usual, takingthe ball away from Barcelona. I also think it'll be a tie this weekend, my gut tells me Florentino Pérez is aiming more towards a tenth CL rather than a Copa del Rey and a league title's that is Barça's to lose.

Yeah I watched that video at least 10 times no joke. :O I always learn something new when i watch how they play , pass the ball, first touch,etc
Possibilities of those 3 getting yellow/red cards and maybe CR7 for his diving antics, but he has been a lot better with the complaining and the diving this season.... so we will see. There are also possibilities of Busquets/Alves/Iniesta getting cards for their acting skills too. Di Maria better not be putting on his swimming trunks though....

I wasn't talking about Pep when I said people were underestimating Mou, I know that Pep has respect for Mou. I was talking about some of the fans/neutrals. But I DO however, agree that nerves and the right mentality will really be needed.
Edit: They'll mainly focus on the CL then the Copa del Rey, the game this weekend is just to get the team in the groove of playing Barca again and possibly testing tactics and all that other good stuff
I hope real makes it through. I can see Utd. taking Madrid. That's concievable for this united side. Barca would be too much with our weak midfield t.t
