5 reasons why we want an El Classico final

The 2014/2015 UEFA Champions League is already winding down with just one match remaining to determine the last team in the final.
Despite losing 2-3 to Bayern Munich yesternight, Barcelona have qualified for the final  courtesy of the first leg dismantling of the German Champions 3-0.
Real Madrid tonight will battle Juventus in the second leg semi-final in Bernabeuu with the Serie A winners entering the game with a slight 2-1 advantage.
Pulse Sports highlights five reasons why we want Real Madrid to progress to the final to meet Barcelona in the Berlin final. 

1. Ronaldo Vs Messi
 




The number one reason why we want an El Classico final is to see the two best players in the world face off at the highest level.
A Ronaldo Vs Messi at the UEFA Champions League final will to an extent settle the 'who is the greatest' debate between the two.
The most important face off between the two was at the UCL final in 2008 when Ronaldo was playing for Manchester United. Barcelona finished the night winners with Messi scoring a crucial second, but at that time, Messi was not the invisible being he is now, while Ronaldo had not become the efficient machine he is today.
The rivalry between the two had not become intense like it is today.
The two legends of the game will probably never met in a World Cup final and after La Liga, Spanish Super Cup, international friendlies and Copa del Rey meetings, a UCL final will be the perfect platform for the 'greatest' to steal the moment and ink his name in the history book as the best ever.
 
2. A Final of Equals
With Barcelona already through to the final, a final of equals will only be guaranteed with a Real Madrid meeting.
No disrespect to Juventus, but Barcelona will too much of an opponent in a UCL final.
Unlike the two past finals-Bayern Munich Vs Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid Vs Atletico Madrid- an El Classico final will be a final without any pre-match favourite.
 


Davido is in with 2, Psquare dominates, Olamide hanging by a thread



  


Here's another wekkly round up of the Pulse Music Video Charts.
This week, there are no changes in the lineup, as various artistes kept up their collective push within the Nigerian and international circles.

Psquare are firmly leading the charge with the theatric visuals for the song, 'Collabo'. Peter and Paul might have struck their best video yet after the success of their 'Personally' video which has gathered over 40 million views.

Flavour's sentimental video keeps up the chase with 'Ololufe', a visual that has singer Chidinma, playing his love interest while dovetailing with the man on the number.

Money and pop culture mix together in the captivating visual for 'Owo ni  koko', a song that has ruled the charts of many since its release. Davido is set to drop his sophomore album, with power collaborations planned by the singer. Trey Songz, Wale, Meek Mill, and many others would have visuals which would sure hold their weight. For noe he sits at number three.

Fourth and fifth places are taken by perceived rivals. A thematic hustle song by Wizkid, 'Ojuelegba' , is being pursued closely by Davido's collaboration with South African hitmakers, Uhuru. 'The Sound' is a sound addition to the chart at number 5.

Following up at number six is 'Woju' by the fast rising singer Kiss Daniel.
Coming in at the seventh spot is the female star singer Yemi Alade with 'Taking Over Me' featuring Phyno. 'Looku Looku' by The Mavins is at number eight. This makes it the second entry for Don Jazzy on this week's chart.

At number nine Don Jazzy makes his triple entry on the chart with Iyanya's 'Gift' which is making its debut this week. In the tenth spot we have Olamide who just released his joint album '2 Kings' with Phyno. He rounds the chart this week with 'Faleela Ketan'.
