5. An El Clasico consisting of humans
With Messi injured and Cristiano Ronaldo in Turin, Sunday's El Clasico will be the first in more than a decade without the two of football's greatest players. Both have been described otherworldly by many, and without them, the Clasico will be played between teams consisting of earthly humans.
It really marks an end of a period where the two titans clashed along with their respective teams and everything else really faded in front of their epic rivalry. The match will also be a preview of the future without these two greats and give an opportunity for the likes of Dembele, Suarez, Coutinho, Asensio, and Bale to take center stage.
