Real Madrid and Barcelona have finished their Champions League matches this season with different results, so I think both will immediately focus attention on El Classico this week, so far if we look at El Classico of course it is full of controversy and also high intensity for winning match is because apart from 3 points, of course winning El Classico will raise the motivation and prestige of the team, but after Barcelona experienced financial problems, I no longer see El Classico will present a balanced match and even this season Madrid has beaten Barcelona 2 times, so I see that Madrid will probably score another winning hat trick in the El Classico match later.
What you say is true, Barcelona has no hope of beating Madrid with their current performance, and of course this match could be decisive for Madrid in winning the La Liga title this season, if Madrid wins then the difference in points from Barcelona will be even bigger so It is difficult for them to thwart Madrid's chance to win La Liga this season.
Every La Liga team always has the opportunity to beat Real Madrid, including Barcelona. I know and also agree that Barcelona's squad depth in recent seasons has never been balanced, but they still have a chance to win the El Clasico as long as they play better than Real Madrid.
Of course Real Madrid were in a good mood after they managed to get rid of Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-final second leg penalty shootout, while Barcelona, who lost to PSG, was really devastated. Maybe the match will not be too tight as expected, but there is always prestige in the El Clasico match every season. Real Madrid is the favorite at home, so they are expected to win instead of Barcelona.
