Who will El Clasico on Saturday? While the answer to that question will be decided in 90 minutes' play, those around the Spanish capital have already weighed in on who they view as the favourites for the match.
According to Madrid fans, Barcelona travel to the Santiago Bernabeu as favourites in Saturday's match. In a Marca poll, 55% of respondents believe the Blaugrana will take the three points away from Los Blancos, while 45% have confidence in Real Madrid.
In interviews conducted around the city, the sensations appear to mirror the poll's results. In stopping Madrilenos on the street, Marca reporters found that many Madrid fans believe that Barca are playing better football and many recall last season's 6-2 defeat in last year's Clasico at the Bernabeu. This season, however, Real Madrid feature Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain, one of Europe's most potent striking pairs.
