FC Barcelona is preparing for another Clásico with last season in mind, where they were able to win the pre-season match, but after that, during La Liga, or in the Spanish Super Cup final, the Blaugrana team was surpassed in every aspect by the Merengues. Despite this, with the new coach the club has started on the right foot, winning with a team full of young players from the youth academy against a Manchester City with players like Haaland or Grealish.
Real Madrid have also already played their first match of the pre-season tournament, which would be their second match if we count the friendly they played in Madrid before coming here, so they seem to be more fit for the match against Barcelona. In addition, although Mbappé will not be in the match, players like Endrick have brought freshness to the team and a new air that this can be a great year. To that we must also add players like Güler, who after the Eurocup have earned dividends in their favour to make a place for themselves in the squad.
FC Barcelona: Grief; Martín, Lenglet, Martínez, Fort; Casado, Bernal; Roque, Torre, Araujo, Lewandowski.
real Madrid: Courtois; García, Vallejo, Rüdiger, Vázquez; Ceballos, Modric, Güler; Latasa, Endrick, Brahim.
FC Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid. Both teams arrive with incomplete squads for the pre-season match, but considering last year’s results, it seems that Real Madrid is still one step above FC Barcelona.
