Real Madrid and Barcelona have dominated La Liga for decades and have always been on even terms. This is why El Classico is one of the best rivalry matches in history, especially during the Messi-Ronaldo era. Actually, I really regret the situation that is happening at Barcelona because they are facing a financial crisis and this will reduce the rivalry between the two. Yes, Barcelona became champions in the previous two seasons and Real Madrid became champions last season. But for this season Real Madrid have signed a contract with Mbappe who will be their icon and I don't see barcelona doing the same. Yamal is a wonderkid but it seems like the two are in different positions and I haven't seen any rivalry between the two.
For this reason, I really hope that Barcelona will soon rise from its downturn so that El Clasico will be even more interesting. The rivalry between the two makes the competition for the La Liga trophy even more competitive. Last year Real Madrid managed to dominate Barcelona in El Clasico and also in the title race, this is very natural because Barcelona condition is unstable. Barcelona is still trying to make improvements to its squad in order to improve its quality so that it can compete again with Real Madrid. Mbappe arrival to Real Madrid should increase Barcelona's motivation in building its strength to return to the championship ladder.
