Prediction

Xavi has overseen a gradual improvement and the return of a few players will go on making a difference for Barcelona, but it’s hard to see them getting close enough to Real Madrid in a one-off match for those upturns in fortunes to make an immediate difference. Barcelona 1-3 Real Madrid.
