Barca missing dynamic duo for Real showdown

Barcelona will look to close the gap on bitter rivals Real Madrid to one point when they host the Primera Liga leaders at the Nou Camp on tomorrow night.

The Catalan giants will be without the injured Lionel Messi for the top-of-the-table showdown, and coach Frank Rijkaard also looks set to leave out Ronaldinho on the bench after the pair exchanged strong words in training yesterday.
