This week they must prepare for the big El Clasico match.
h2h in the last 4 matches maybe we can consider this still balanced where 2 wins belong to Barcelona and 2 wins belong to Madrid but in the first meeting this season Barcelona lost at Camp Nou and now for the second meeting in a few days they will compete at the Bernabeu which must be a little difficult with Madrid's current mentality still big.
I think there are still El Classico that are not included in this table. Previously, real Madrid also won from Barcelona in La Liga match on January. It's a big win from Real Madrid. It's in Spanish super cup. real Madrid also won the match on January 2024.h2h in the last 4 matches maybe we can consider this still balanced where 2 wins belong to Barcelona and 2 wins belong to Madrid but in the first meeting this season Barcelona lost at Camp Nou and now for the second meeting in a few days they will compete at the Bernabeu which must be a little difficult with Madrid's current mentality still big.

It is likely that this match will look like usual without any resistance from Barcelona. They already know that they are quite far behind in points so Barcelona will likely play more calmly and not think about whether to win or not. If Barcelona doesn't win in this match, they will still be in second place on the standings. The difference in points with Girona is still two match wins, so it's far enough for Girona to catch up.
If we look at the points, it really won't affect their position. Real Madrid will remain in first place and Barcelona as runner up. However, this is El Classico which is always a prestigious match and a place to show off who is stronger in the match. Always high tension when it comes to Barcelona and Real Madrid. That's why El Classico is always interesting because there is a deep rivalry between the two.
