Today, Saturday, the eyes of sports fans are turning to Barcelona’s temporary Olympic Stadium, which will be the stage for the first El Clásico of the season when it hosts its traditional rival, Real Madrid, who is at the top of the standings, with only one point separating them in the 11th stage of the Spanish Football League.
Although Barcelona did not suffer any losses after this season, it wasted six points compared to 5 for the Royal team, making their match a fiery match in light of the feverish race for the league title.
The Catalan team will play the match in light of many possible absences, led by its Polish star Robert Lewandowski due to an ankle injury, in addition to Sergi Roberto, Frenchman Jules Kounde, Brazilian Rafinha and Dutchman Frankie de Jong.
While doubts loom over Pedri’s participation. On the other hand, Brazilian Eder Militao and Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will continue to be absent, while Nacho Fernandes will return to participate after the end of his suspension.
Ancelotti is counting on his new English star, Jude Bellingham, who will compete in the El Clásico challenge for the first time.
The two teams enter the match after achieving victory with minimal effort in the Champions League over Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine and Sporting Braga of Portugal with the same score 2-1 respectively, but the team of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti will seek to restore its balance locally after drawing against its host Sevilla 1-1 in the last round. Which witnessed Barcelona’s victory over Athletic Bilbao 1-0, reducing the gap with its leading rival to one point.
