This is looking like Real Madrid's best chance at ending the season with a trophy. A win or a scoreless draw puts the club in the final. 

The two fierce rivals will play twice this week, first on Wednesday in the Copa del Rey and then again on Saturday at Santiago Bernabeu in the league. 

Real Madrid holds a slight advantage over Barca following a 1:1 draw in the first leg at the Camp Nou.  

The last time Real Madrid played El Clasico at home without Ronaldo was on May 2, 2009. Barcelona won that match 6-2, with braces from Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry.

Alex Sandro to Chelsea in January

Chelsea are reportedly maintaining their interest in Brazil international Alex Sandro whom they hope to pursue from Juventus during the winter transfer window.

The 26-year-old has been a vital player in the Bianconeri ranks helping them to two Serie A crowns in his past two seasons in Turin.

Antonio Conte's side failed with multiple attempts to land the left-sided defender in the summer, and according to The Mirror, they will try again for his signature in the New Year.

The Premier League holders are prepared to make a £60m bid for Sandro in January as they seek to find a suitable competitor to Marcos Alonso for the left wing-back spot.

Conte has been constantly linked with a return to his native Italy, but the Blues' hierarchy are doing their best to prolong the 48-year-old's stay at Stamford Bridge.

The former Italy coach was rewarded with an improved deal earlier in the summer, but he refused to extend his contract beyond the summer of 2019.

Legendary striker Alan Shearer to inspire England's final push towards World Cup qualification.

Gareth Southgate has turned to legendary striker Alan Shearer to inspire England's final push towards World Cup qualification.

Manager Southgate is set to unleash an attacking quartet of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as he looks for the win over Slovenia that will book a place at Russia 2018.
And the 47-year-old has enlisted the help of his old international team-mate Shearer, who scored 30 times in 63 games for his country.

The former Newcastle forward met the squad on Tuesday and Kane, who captains England, said: 'He came in and spoke to the lads. It was great to hear from him.
'The lads were attached to him telling the stories about England and his career, what he'd come through, the ups and downs.
'It was great to hav
e an England legend come in with his experience.'

Jupp Heynckes, the new Bayern Munich manager?

The 72-year-old is set to return for a fourth spell in charge of the German champions, who he led to a Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League treble in 2013.
Heynckes retired after that successful season but is believed to have agreed a contract until the end of the season.
Bayern sacked Ancelotti as manager following last month's 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, with his assistant Willy Sagnol taking charge of the team on an interim basis.
They drew 2-2 at Hertha Berlin last Sunday, leaving them five points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund.
Former Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel had been strongly linked with the Bayern job, as was Hoffenheim's Julian Nagelsmann.
Bayern's next fixture is at home to Freiburg on October 14, and four days later they welcome Celtic to the Allianz Arena in the Champions League

WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH BARCELONA?!

According to manager Luis Enrique, his team's downturn is a simple case of bad luck.
That, at least, was his explanation for their latest setback, Sunday's 2-1 home defeat by Valencia, when he claimed he was happy with the performance and that "we only lacked the necessary fortune to win the game".
The local media agreed, with newspaper Mundo Deportivo's front page on Monday featuring a headline which lamented: "1-2. How unfair!"
It is true that Barca created plenty of chances to claim three points: Suarez headed over from close range, Gerard Pique dragged a golden chance wide and visiting keeper Diego Alves made excellent saves from Messi (twice), Ivan Rakitic and Neymar. In addition, Valencia's opener was a freak own goal as Rakitic deflected a cross into the net.

Similarly, Barca's other recent defeats have contained moments of ill fortune.
In the home defeat by Real Madrid that started the rot, for example, Barca flew out of the blocks and should have taken the lead when Suarez inexplicably mis-kicked in front of an open goal. Bad finishing rather than bad luck, true, but the outcome may have been very different if he had scored.
And in stoppage time at the end of their decisive Champions League defeat by Atletico Madrid, Barca were denied a penalty when home captain Gabi blocked Andres Iniesta's goalbound shot with his arm clearly inside the area, only for referee Nicola Rizzoli to judge wrongly that the offence had taken place outside the box.

So things have gone against them - but they have benefited from the rub of the green too. Gareth Bale had a goal disallowed harshly in the Clasico defeat, while Iniesta was lucky to avoid a red card for a deliberate handball at Atletico.
Bad luck, then, is not the only answer to Barca's malaise. So what is?

AGBONLAHOR SUSPENDED BY ASTON VILLA

Aston Villa have suspended striker Gabriel Agbonlahor and begun an investigation after he was allegedly pictured with laughing gas canisters.

According to reports, the 29-year-old was pictured partying in London on the same night Villa were relegated.

Agbonlahor was already on the sidelines after being told he was not fit enough.
He was suspended by Villa earlier this month after he was pictured appearing to hold a shisha pipe while in Dubai, but the club took no further action.
Villa were relegated from the Premier League after losing 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.

They are bottom of the table after collecting only 16 points from 34 games.
The West Midlands outfit are also without a manager following the sacking of Frenchman Remi Garde and have been hit by two key resignations.
Former Football Association chairman David Bernstein and Lord King, a former Governor of the Bank of England, both quit the board on Monday.
