This EL Classico can be very interesting because this time in this EL Classico Real Madrid don't have Benzema but they have players like Jude Bellingham who scored a goal in the last friendly match and on the other hand this game can be a hard test for Xavi and his players to find weakness and try to improve it.
As long as it's a friendly match, then it's not a problem, and maybe Barcelona will try to play relaxed because I'm sure they won't use the formation used during friendlies in the upcoming league matches. In this match, Xavi will keep an eye on this, and Weaknesses will still be improved because there is still time.
I feel just the opposite.
There are more important things than just friendship when it comes to El Clasico because matches like this are always full of prestige.
I think we know how the tension and rivalry is when these two clubs play so I don't think there's anything to be relaxed about because egos and prestige are obviously bigger.
Even though this match will not mean anything and will not prove that they are the strongest in the next season, losing to rivals is something that is highly avoided in order to maintain the prestige that has long existed.
The match starts tomorrow and I think it will be an interesting first El clasico of the new season.
