Even with the echoes of Pau Gasol’s debut echoing through the walls of the Palau, Barça will host Real Madrid this Sunday, April 11, 2021, in a very important match for the final classification of the Endesa League. There will be two classics almost in a row, since the Santander League was played in Valdebebas on Saturday.
The duel is more decisive for Barça than for Madrid, which will be tested without Deck, recently ‘escaped’ to the NBA. And it is that the spectacular march of the white team has allowed him to travel to Barcelona with two mattress victories at the head of the classification.
Historical balance
Barça (25-3) and Real Madrid (27-1) face the classic at a good time
Finishing first at the end of the regular league has the prize of ensuring home court advantage in all playoff crosses, a privileged position that Madrid would maintain even losing in Barcelona. In fact, Laso’s team has only lost one league game all season and it was precisely against Barça in the first round.
The good time of both is another incentive for an already very attractive match. Never in history have the two greats reached matchday 28 with such a good balance. Madrid accumulates a spectacular 27-1 and Barça, another equally brilliant 25-3.
