Carvalho and Khedira are out for Real and Iniesta is out for Barcelona, this really makes this game a tough one to call on a total. Looking at the head to head results its even tougher to call a side, I remember watching an earlier match when Real were crushed 5-0 at Camp Nou, Barca just utterly dominated Madrid .
Supposedly Mourinho has adjusted his game plan and he is one of the best coaches in soccer which has helped contain Barca and especially Messi in the last couple of games, recently with a 1-1 draw against Barca with 10 men in the league game and then beating them in the Copa del Rey final. Real Madrid did look good in the Copa del rey and Iker Casillas is probably the world's greatest goalkeeper.
Barcelona has had a brutal schedule for one of the worlds richest teams and Madrid seems unstoppable right now. I am definitely not as confident with this play as I was with the plays I had with Manchester united, the level of talent between Schalke and Manchester is miles apart but these are two of the world greatest teams. anyone of them could have a decent chance at beating Manchester in the final.
With a tactician like Mourinho at the helm, Kaka and Gonzalo Higuain back from injury, and no Iniesta , the play for me is Real Madrid
