Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has
expressed his anticipation for the upcoming
clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona,
declaring them the best two teams in the
world.
DON'T MISS
Jose Mourinho’s Madrid sit three points clear
at the top of La Liga with a game in hand
ahead of Saturday's game at the Santiago
Bernabeu.
The 62-year-old Gunners' boss thinks that
the two Spanish teams are currently leading
the way at the top of world football and
suggests that their meetings will decide
who wins the title.
He told Arsenal's official website: “It's
certainly the game at the moment between
the two best teams in the world, so that's
the game we want to see.
“Nobody wants to lose it. The nerves maybe
play a big part because the pressure is
always massive.
“Overall it is an opportunity for Real Madrid
to show how much they have reduced the
difference between them and Barcelona.
"We know already today that these two
games will decide the title in Spain."
Arsenal are familiar with Barcelona, having
been knocked out of the Champions League
by them for the past two seasons, and
Wenger believes that there is one important
decision to make when facing them.
“The key is to decide whether you play
very high or very deep," he explained.
“You have to attack them, expose them
defensively and Real Madrid have the
opportunity to do that. I am sure they will.
“In a pre-season game they decided to play
very high and they gave many problems to
Barcelona. But can you do that for 90
minutes against Barcelona?
“For the few times you do not win the ball
very high you are exposed to [Lionel]
Messi's runs. That's what they have to
decide.
"Or do they start with a really cautious
approach and have a go at them in the
second half?”
