Many will be looking forward to it because Barcelona and Real Madrid are in their best form but Barcelona looks more consistent compared to their arch rivals and of course Real Madrid will find it difficult to stop Barcelona even though Real Madrid has Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham it does not at all dampen the mentality of Barcelona players especially Real Madrid lost one of their mainstay defenders so this will be an advantage for Barcelona to be able to penetrate Real Madrid's defense, Carvajal is a defender who is quite strong in the back line his absence will certainly have a little effect on Real Madrid's defense especially since Barcelona's attack line looks more active this season.
The El classico has always been a much anticipated club football rivalry in the world and there has never been any close to it but for some time it hasn't been as charming as it used to be in the previous years when both clubs had the likes of Lionel Messi and Ronaldo respectively. Since both players left the league, the El classico has lost its credibility and has failed to attract viewers all over the world but this year's edition looks promising and may be an outstanding one that may draw football enthusiasts back to the this illustrious derby.
What really makes this particular El classico special is the fact that both team have exceptional players that could be decisive to the outcome of the match, Barcelona have got, Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandoski, Frankie De jong, Pedri, Raphinha and lots of wonderful players whereas Real Madrid has, vinicius jnr, Jude Bellingham, valverde, Tchuamenie, Luka Modric, Kylian Mbappe etc, though it seems as if this year's edition is going to be impacted by injury worries from both sides because the first choice goal keepers from both sides are already out injured with a couple of players too like Dani Carvarjal who got injured in their home game against Villarreal recently which I think is a great concern for Real Madrid.
