Every season there are games that are eagerly awaited by football fans. One of them is the La Liga Clásico, which faces the two most important clubs in Spain, Barça and Real Madrid. These two teams are currently far from the level they showed a few years ago, where they dominated Europe with their unrivaled super rosters.
At present, both sets go through a renovation process after the glorious era, but with the difference that they seem to meet at different points. Real Madrid seems to have started to do their homework earlier and they are already with consolidated figures to relieve their stars. However, FC Barcelona is still finding those players and testing homegrown players who look very good. In addition, there is a great difference in the benches, as Ancelotti is one of the best coaches in the world, while Koeman has shown not to be at the height of a club like Barça.
The Italian coach is in luck because he finally recovers Mendy, a fundamental piece in the defense. The big question will be to see who is betting on the right side, since he can give Nacho the opportunity, test Lucas Vázquez or risk with Valverde. Above, Benzema should be the reference if he overcomes the annoyances, and Vinicius will accompany him. The unknown would be the right wing player, since Hazard seems to be recovered, but Rodrygo is showing good performances. Asensio could also be a good tool for that band, while in the center of the field there should be no surprises and we will see Kroos, Modric and Casemiro, the trident that has given the Whites so many successes. This is what the alignment would therefore look like:
Courtois; Nacho, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric; Hazard, Vinicius, Benzema.
