Anything can happen in this el clasico, because we know that both teams have some problems with their players. The last one is Rudiger who had a problem during the game a few hours ago. I don't know much about Rudiger's injury, which was bleeding. Can he play in El Clasico or not? Because if he is absent it will be a loss for Real Madrid to lose a strong defender. Likewise with Barcelona who lost several players because of the same thing.
Ahead of the El Clasico match, it is true that both teams may still be missing several players due to injury. I don't think it's going to be the most basic issue of why we should be worried, both Barcelona and Real Madrid have some decent substitutes to play for.
But I want to focus a little on Barcelona's match against Inter today, obviously there will be a lot of expectations on Barcelona's shoulders because they have to get 3 points at the end of the match. If Barcelona lose this match, then I think in El Clasico things will be very different for them.
I don't see that in Madrid now because Courtois' absence will be completely over considering this player will definitely be in the line-up ahead of the Clasico because Ancelotti has also said that he will definitely be ready to play.
But it's different from Barcelona, which still has some problematic players.
Even though it's like that, it still won't get rid of the high intensity it seems because this is the big match that you've been waiting for.
