In general, it is not done more for spectacle, in such matches often in the starting line-ups appear players that we do not see during the season, that is, coaches in such matches give an opportunity to prove themselves to new or young players, to evaluate someone and then give a chance to perform in the main matches. That's what pre-season games are mostly about

Regardless of the results of the Arsenal vs Barcelona match, I think the El Clasico match will be more interesting to look forward to. Barcelona have been beaten 5-3 by Arsenal, but they will be looking to avoid a humiliating defeat to Real Madrid in a friendly in America.

Just a few days from now El Clasico will be held, it will be very exciting for me ahead of the new season. I want to see Real Madrid play so well and prove itself not affected by the absence of Benzema. Real Madrid success to beat Manchester United in the previous match, so I also hope they can beat Barcelona in the upcoming game.

For El Clasico, it will still be very interesting.
Barcelona's loss to Arsenal won't prove that they're bad because it's basically just a trial and see what players they bring in. It's just to try out some players so that they can adapt more and Xavi wants to see if there's potential from young players or not.

But when it comes to El Clasico even though it's just a friendly I think the result will be different. There's prestige to be maintained and even though it's a friendly I'm sure they'll go all out and a win will be sought even though they won't say it.
However, El Clasico is still El Clasico and they don't want to lose easily to a rival club.
