The main club confrontation in world football will take place against the backdrop of lackluster but effective performances from both teams. Barça are unimpressive but have yet to lose this season. Real can do better, but still leads La Liga.
The overcrowded Catalan hospital makes Los Blancos slight favorites of the match, but nothing more. You have to understand that El Clasico is a thing in itself, and anomalies regularly happen here, like goals from Mariano Diaz or Aleix Vidal, which are completely impossible in other fights.

Barcelona news
This season, Barça was pleased with its performance only for a short period, when it managed to win two matches in a row 5:0. Otherwise, victories are difficult for the champion.
Draws with Getafe, Mallorca and Granada showed that it is difficult for Barca to break through the “buses”. A week ago, “Culés” helped out the miraculous debut of 17-year-old Guiyu against “Athletic” (1:0). Even with Shakhtar, Barca gave up playing too early and almost paid for it (2:1).
The Catalans concede an average of a goal per match, and injuries to the leaders may force Xavi to start the unused Yamal and Fermin. This is all bad news ahead of the Clasico. Are there any good ones? Only instant adaptation of newcomers Gundogan, Felix and Cancelo. Actually, Barcelona have all their hopes for tomorrow, Ter Stegen and Gavi.
Real Madrid news
If Barça hasn’t won beautifully for a long time, then Real did it before the international break. 3:0 with Girona, 4:0 with Osasuna, even 3:2 with Napoli – I wanted to applaud for them.
Jude Bellingham has scored 11 goals in 12 matches and is the hero of La Liga so far. As usual, Vinicius feints a lot, Camavinga gives an inhuman amount of work, and Carvajal is strong as a captain. At the same time, is Real Madrid invulnerable? Of course not! As soon as Atlético (1:3) and Sevilla (1:1) turned the game into a backyard fight, the youth of Madrid faded away.
3 – @realmadriden have won their first 3 games of a Champions League group stage for the 9th time (excluding second round), reaching the semi-finals of the competition in each of the previous 5 times: 2010/11, 2011/12, 2013/14 (champions), 2014/15 and 2022/23. Optimism. pic.twitter.com/9yiz3YQRMJ

To avoid embarrassment in Barcelona, Real Madrid need to be tougher; to break the Blaugrana midfield and tear it apart with counterattacks, as was already the case at Montilivi with Girona, which was similar in style. Well, you need to have less nerves, otherwise Vinicius is starting to talk again. This has never benefited the team before.
“Barcelona” – “Real”: statistics of personal meetings
El Clasico is not just a showcase, but also the highest-grossing match in Spanish football, so they are held as often as possible. Last year, for example, Real Madrid and Barça met 5 times – twice in La Liga, twice in the Cup and once in the Spanish Super Cup.
The result? The Catalans won three matches, the championship and the Super Cup; two games and the King’s Cup went to Madrid. The goal difference is 9:7 in favor of Real Madrid.

The main intrigue is which of the injured will the Barcelona doctors have time to get back on their feet? While there are rumors about Raphinha, de Jong and Lewandowski. Moreover, Robert supposedly wants to play even “on injections”. Pedri, Roberto and Kunde simply have no chance to get out.
Real Madrid have been treating Militao, Courtois and Ceballos for a long time, but Nacho is returning – the RFEF has reduced his suspension.
Barcelona: ter Stegen – Cancelo, Araujo, Inigo Martinez, Balde – Gavi, de Jong, Gundogan – Yamal, Lewandowski, Felix
Real Madrid: Kepa – Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Camavinga – Kroos, Chuameni, Valverde – Bellingham – Vinicius, Joselu
