2. Lack of Pressure

In recent years, when Real Madrid travel to Camp Nou, it is usually to get a result so they can catch up to the Catalans on the league table.

However, that is not the case this season.

With the visitors now comfortably leading with six points ahead, they know the pressure is all on the home side to get full three points. Madrid players know very well that they can come into this match relaxed, sit back, and hit them back on counter attack.

Barcelona on the other hand will have to attack from the opening whistle, which can open themselves up and leave spaces for Ronaldo and co to exploit. Once Madrid get the first goal of the game, with the world of pressure coming down for the hosts, it will be almost impossible to come back for them.
