Real Madrid legends vs. Barcelona legends scores,highlights
Arguably the greatest rivalry in world soccer, Barcelona vs Real Madrid in El Clasico is nearly back. On Saturday, the two will meet in Madrid in their second meeting of the 2020-21 season. Their first meeting was a 3-1 win for Real on October 24. Both teams are expected to be without key players for this game, though in-form stars Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema are set to play.
This is a huge match in the title race, with both teams having a chance to jump over Atletico Madrid and into first place this weekend. But before the match begins, refresh yourself on the statistical history of the match:
Real captain Sergio Ramos has played in El Clasico 45 times, more than any other player in history. However, the record might not be just his come Saturday. If Ramos again misses another match due to injury, which may happen, then Messi will match his 45 appearances.
After the break, the Real Madrid Legends came out after the break intent on turning the scoreline around and did so just two minutes after the restart, with de Munitis's introduction proving to be key. The Cantabrian levelled matters on 42' after he pounced on Amavisca's shot from the edge of the area that ricocheted off Guzmán before conjuring up an exquisite piece of skill to skip around the goalkeeper and tap home into the unguarded net.
Two minutes later, de Munitions picked up the ball wide on the right and swung in an inch-perfect cross that Alfonso got on the end of to put Madrid in the ascendancy.
The tempo of the contest subsequently dropped, and Barcelona drew themselves level in the 60th minute following a fine solo run from Jofre Mateu, before Madrid hit the winner 10 minutes later. The decisive goal was a thing of beauty from De la Red as the Madridista skipped past Goikoetxea before tucking the ball just inside the post from the edge of the area.
