Real Madrid and Barcelona FC are arguably the biggest football teams in the world, which makes their game this Saturday, November 21, one of the most important matches of the year. This is the 2015 "El Clasico" that has, for at least the last few years, pitted the two top players in the sport, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, against each other, with plenty of other impressive names to boot!

According to new reports, Ramos is on the pitch training this week with Ronaldo and his other teammates, which is good news for soccer fans. Not only will Madrid have a top player if Ramos is able to participate, but it'll most likely mean a great match! The same news is evident for Rakitic on the Barcelona training grounds, according to the team's official website.
Clearly, the biggest news is that Messi is in fact training with Barcelona this week, which could hopefully lead to an appearance in El Clasico. If he plays, the two best footballers in the world (and possibly the history of the game) will be on the same pitch.
Cristiano Ronaldo isn't ailing from any injuries, so he'll be in top form, but Messi could be used in a lesser degree. A reunion between Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar Jr. could mean some incredible goals, though, no matter how long he's on the field (via The Washington Post).
