5 in-form players heading into this weekend's El Clasico
Football's most glamorous match is this weekend. Superstars, the title race and two of the biggest clubs this world has seen. Barcelona head into this fixture with the zest and eagerness that has driven them unflinchingly this season while Real Madrid continue to find their feet under their new manager.
The El Clasico is always a spectacle and is mainly so because of the calibre of players who compete in it. Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez will often decorate the minds of Barcelona fans while Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema will occupy those of Real Madrid fans.
Either way, this is going to be a cracking game and heading into the game, considering we've just had an international break, we assess the most in-form players who could really make the difference and maybe, decide the title race.
#5 Keylor Navas
Keylor Navas has had an outstanding season for Real Madrid considering he almost quit the club in the transfer window to head to Manchester United. Right now, however, fans will be holding on to him tight considering the form he's been in. Easily one of the best players in the club this season, Navas will be expected to keep out Barcelona's deadly trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar from scoring.
He continues to defy the odds when it comes to saving penalties. Be it good preparation and research before hand or the ability to read his opponents excellently, Keylor is a master when it comes to saving penalties and close-range efforts from inside the box.
His penalty save and multiple other saves against Sevilla are a reminder of this Costa Rican's talents. Against Barcelona, he'll have to be in fine form to ensure his side are still in the title race with only few weeks remaining.
