In such a historic fixture like El Clasico, so many questions can be asked.

Cristiano Ronaldo ‘crumbled the rules’ in Juventus’ dressing room

Manchester United: Ronaldo tells squad to ‘sacrifice’ to become a top team
Cristiano Ronaldo has issued a rallying cry to his Manchester United team-mates after a rough patch of form caused a hiccup in their season - urging them to ‘sacrifice’ and help the squad reach the next level.
The Portuguese superstar was one of three high-profile arrivals at Old Trafford this summer alongside £73million winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund and £42m defender Raphael Varane from Real Madrid, and Ronaldo believes the club needs time to ‘adapt’ with their new-look side.
Ronaldo has been one of the top performing players of the team so far in this campaign - netting six times from eight games - but has been unable to inspire United in every game, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side suffering some poor results in recent times.
But despite showing his passion and disappointment during those defeats, the veteran forward has kept a positive outlook over United’s fortunes, saying ‘everything is possible’ for the rest of the season.
