The mouth waters at the prospect, because they don't come any bigger than this. Barcelona vs Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi, the Nike Safari Superfly II vs the adidas adiZero!
Just the one point separates the two Spanish giants. Real Madrid enter the game with 32 points while Barcelona have picked up 31 points. This Monday Spain will grind to a halt and the eyes of the footballing world will be locked on the Camp Nou when the country's two biggest and richest clubs do battle in the most highly anticipated game of the Spanish season to date.
Of all the battles that will take place on Monday, the battle between the two best players in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, is undeniably the biggest of the lot. They will lock horns as both of their clubs top scorers. Ronaldo is Madrid's top scorer with 14 goals in 12 games while Messi is Barca's top scorer with 13 goals in just 10 games.
Lionel Messi is the lead player for the adidas F50 adizero football boots, a boot that has taken the game by storm and seen so many players switch allegiance from the Swoosh. At the time of launch the adizero was the lightest boot available on the market, and it's sleek design and option of either a synthetic or leather upper has seen it outscore its' speed rivals at the World Cup and now across Europe in the domestic leagues.
But for all it's goals, it seems the Mercurial range and Cristiano Ronaldo will always steal the headlines over the adizero as we saw recently with the launch of the Safari versions. Cristiano is the lead player for the Mercurial range and wears the Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II football boots, and Monday's El Clasico is a chance for Ronaldo and the Superfly to show the pretender to the speed throne how it's done!
We can't wait for kick-off to see one of the most highly anticipated football showdowns for some time. All the focus and attention is going to be on two players, but which player can create that game changing and winning moment. Who's your support for - Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi?!
