The eleventh round of the Spanish championship will include the legendary El Clasico, with Real Madrid hosting Barcelona at their home stadium. The whole world will be witnessing the Real Madrid vs Barcelona pivotal showdown between two Primera leaders. The one who prevails will gain significant advantages over his rival, intensifying their already severe rivalry.
This week, both clubs face formidable opponents in Germany in the Champions League. In terms of the Clasico, they are crucial. As a result, Real Madrid faced Borussia Dortmund in the European Cup final for the second year in a row. With two goals allowed in the first half, Ancelotti’s squad was down. However, the Los Blancos’ fortunes turned around in the second half. Another thing that went wrong for Borussia was when they began playing to maintain the score. With five goals from Real Madrid and a hat trick from Vinicius, the final score was 5-2.
In contrast, Flick’s Barcelona squad played a big game versus Bayern Munich, which mattered historically. The Catalans, however, were excellent and scored goals at will. Indeed, Munich took the lead in their encounter. Despite this, Barça kept their cool, defended well, and scored four goals (including a goal from Rafinha) to win 4-1.
Barcelona had a more robust season in the Spanish championship this year. Osasuna was their lone loss, a 2–4 setback. Conversely, Real did not lose in La Liga, but he did draw many times, and those draws did not necessarily include powerful opponents. Consequently, Flick’s squad has gained 27 points, putting them three ahead of Real Madrid.
