Not since the year 2007 has such a thing happened.Real Madrid and Barcelona head into an El Clasico next sunday and both Messi and Ronaldo will be MIA.
Ronaldo,because he has abandoned the La Liga and gone off to Juventus to seek his fortune,
Messi,because he has broken his right hand.
Ronaldo musing on the rivalry between himself and Messi says ..
So the El Clasico is going to be without these two stalwarts.This thing too,like all good things,has come to an end.
The last time such a thing happened was way back on December 23, 2007.
Alas.
