When it comes to the problem of player injuries that are currently affecting these two clubs, Barcelona is slightly luckier than Real Madrid. Several core players owned by Hansi Flick have easily started to join the team, De Jong is starting to get the chance to play, Gavi has also received permission from the team doctor, while the position left by Ter Stegen has been filled by Sczcesny. Vinicius Jr is confirmed to have a neck injury, the injury is not worrying, he can play after the international break is over.
Barcelona front line is far more productive than Real Madrid forwards, Barcelona forwards Lewandowski, Yamal and Raphinha are the best in Europe at the moment in scoring goals and assists.

Madrid had similar case last season, only that this season feels like its coming with a bigger hit but i still have much fate in Madrid believing that this was a temporary set back and they are going to get it fixed sooner than later, probably even before the end of the season. all of this is just an advantage period for Barcelona and they look like they re using it so well so very likely they are going to be bale to make the gap a huge one before Madrid gets back on track fully but it wont be long as most of their players are beginning to return back on medical approval, once they get fit again, Barcelona should get ready to defend their position as it may be taken from them.Barcelona front line is far more productive than Real Madrid forwards, Barcelona forwards Lewandowski, Yamal and Raphinha are the best in Europe at the moment in scoring goals and assists.
