Yes, that's true, but when we meet in the Champions League later, I'm still sure that Manchester United can still give a draw against Real Madrid, so it might make it difficult for Real Madrid to win like this pre-season game.
Ancelotti can definitely give the best for Real Madrid so that in the next match against Barcelona there is still a high chance of winning for Real Madrid.
I don't know if many agree or not, but for Real Madrid vs Barcelona in this pre-season I assume Real Madrid can win.
@tusandi I don’t expect both sides to bring their best game in this fixture because both sides would like to experiment in this fixture and provide game time to as many player’s they can. Furthermore both have equal edge because while Barcelona have a proven striker in the form of Lewandowski Real Madrid has the best young midfielder in the form of Bellingham hence this will be a balanced tie and I would advise not to expect much from this fixture.
You are right, but for fans of the two clubs, egos are still egos, even though the title is a friendly match, but there is nothing wrong with Madrid and Barcelona wanting to show their best game. In fact, I'm sure the fight will be taken seriously. You know these 2 big Spanish clubs are eternal rivals and for that, they don't care about the actual pre-season title appearance. Because when we show the best performance we can see the perception of the fans at the end. In my opinion the reason is simple when the competition hasn't started yet while the spectators can't wait to see the competition between the two clubs so that both of them will take this match quite seriously.
