FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid : Five things to watch
By Vijay Vemu
2. Which goalie will come up with the big save?
In all honesty, Real Madrid should have scored two goals in the last Clasico if not for Claudio Bravo. The Chilean, who only plays in the league for Barcelona, made some ridiculous saves for the Catalans. He made some great saves on Ronaldo including saving one with his face off a Ronaldo volley. With Madrid’s attack picking up the pace since Zinedine Zidane’s appointment at manager, Bravo will have to come up with another big game.

Across the field, there will be another keeper in top form as Keylor Navas has been in tip-top form for Real Madrid. He has proven to be a great signing and showed Madrid that his run with Costa Rica in the 2014 World Cup wasn’t a fluke. He didn’t play in the Clasico in Barcelona last year and had a rough outing in October and will be looking to end his poor streak against the Catalans. He will face a monster in MSN and he knows the challenge of trying to stop them.
“They are all dangerous” said the goalkeeper to the press when asked about facing the trio of Messi, Neymar, and Suarez.
With the attacking power of both teams, both goalies will be tested in this match. It come down to who makes the key save that might help their team to victory.
