The game is dubbed ‘The El-Classico of Europe’. Both the teams have been in superb form this season. Real Madrid have recently beaten arch rivals Barcelona 2-1 to claim their 19th Copa del Rey title. Madrid took the lead by Ángel Di María’s goal but Barcelona bounced back with a Bartra header. Gareth Bale, the record 100 million signing, stepped up and scored a brilliant solo goal late in the game to ensure a thrilling 2-1 victory. Real Madrid are also competing with rivals Athletico Madrid for the La-Liga title. Likewise, Bayern Munich bounced back from poor form as they beat second tier FC Kaiserslautern 5-1 and joined Dortmund in the final of the DFB Pokal. They also had a hard-fought 2-0 win over Eintracht Braunschweig in their last league game with Claudio Pizzaro and Mario Mandzukic on strikes.
