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.
This El Clasico will be proof for both teams to welcome next season where the two coaches will try to compete against each other in today's game. I believe the tension of the game will spur on a match full of prestige in today's match. Most likely both squads will come down with the perfect squad to test their strength in today's game.
In the previous match Barcelona suffered defeat against Arsenal and for Real madrid they were able to win the 2 matches they had played. Statistically, it is very likely that Real Madrid will be able to maintain their winning streak in trial matches in today match. I think Real madrid will win today's match by a thin score.
