To this day, this is the Combined ideal XI among the players of the Real Madrid and from Barcelona:
I have few doubts about who is in better shape right now. Despite Ter Stegen being a great goalie, Courtois seems to me to be more of a differential for his team. Especially in Europe, the Belgian ‘has won’ more matches for his team than the German. It is one of the ‘duels’ of the Classic.
Without a doubt, the right-back position is for Dest. He’s having a very good start to the year and Koeman uses him in any position: right-back, left-back, inside, winger, … He plays absolutely everything and does nothing he scored a goal with the United States.
Because of his experience, because he motivates himself much more in the Classics and because of his technical level. One of the centrals of this XI has to be Piqué. The Catalan is another even better when he faces the eternal rival. He was also one of the players of the day in the Champions League, with a key goal against DInamo to keep his team alive (1-0).
The arrival of Alaba to the Real Madrid defense has given the team strength. It still has some gears to polish, but little by little it is seen more settled in the center of the rear. A fact: every time he has faced Barcelona (with Bayern), he has ended up beating the Catalans: 4-0, 0-3 and the historic 8-2.
Very difficult this decision, but I prefer Mendy. Jordi Alba continues to be a great winger, although the Frenchman’s entry the other day in Ukraine in the Whites’ XI was a relief for the team. It provides a lot of solidity to theirs, something necessary to protect the block. On the other hand, Jordi Alba arrives at the game somewhat touched.
He is the boss of the center of the field in Barcelona. His seniority is a degree, although the truth is that he performs much better with the Spanish team. The tactical level he has is brutal, similar to Casemiro’s. However, he is a much more technical player than the Brazilian.
The German is making an optimal start to the season. The meeting he did in Ukraine was sensational. The ability to move the ball, the precision and the touch they have are almost unmatched in the world. Little debate on whether Kroos has to be in the ideal XI of this match.
If we had to name a ‘lord and lord’ of the midfield in this Classic, it would undoubtedly be Luka Modric. Another player was the Croatian who gave a real clinic against Shakhtar (0-5), especially in the second half. Last year he scored a flag goal at the Camp Nou. It will be one of the keys for yours.
On Tuesday in the Champions League he recovered the sensations of the first games of this season. He scored two goals and already has 7 this season, almost the same as he had in their three seasons together as a Real Madrid player. He can be an unbalancing player. Piqué has greatly highlighted his overflow and speed.
It has revitalized Barcelona, especially at the level of illusion. He is the heir to Messi’s eternal ’10’ and has shown that he has lost his best virtue: the goal. Against Valencia he scored a real chicharro (3-1) and already ‘wet’ in the defeat of his team at the Camp Nou (1-3) last year. Everything before his terrible injury. He has just renewed with the Barça club until 2027.
The French is the best player in this match. For me, he is the best player in the league and by far. He also scored in the win in Ukraine and has already scored 11 goals in just 10 white matches this season. Barcelona is one of his favorite victims and in the last Classic he opened the scoring with a great heel (2-1). It will be the main weapon of the Ancelotti team … one more day.
