The last time these two teams played at the Santiago Bernabeu in the league, Leo Messi stole the show. The image of Leo Messi holding up his shirt after scoring the winner in the injury time, is still fresh in the minds of every football lover.

Inspite of that, Real Madrid will surely enjoy having the huge home support in the Clasico. The cheers of the crowd will boost the morale and confidence of the Real Madrid players, as the shaky Real Madrid team is not at their very best and support from the crowd will give them an advantage.

Under Zidane, the Galacticos have played Barcelona five times and won three of them. They lost one at Bernabeu last season and tied once. The last time the two Spanish Giants faced at the Bernabeu, the fixture ended 2-0 in favour of Real Madrid and the Los Blancos clinched the Spanish Super Cup, thanks to that victory.

However, Madrid will hope that Messi doesn't do something similar like he did in the last league game between these two teams because if something like that happens then there will be no way for Real Madrid to come back on track in the league this season and challenge Barcelona for the title.
