There are 18 days until the El Clasico derby. We will all watch this match together in two weeks. The deadlock in the league will probably be resolved in this match. Whichever team wins this match, Real Madrid or Barcelona, will put the other team behind a great deal on the way to the championship. In addition, the winning team will gain a great advantage on the way to the championship. Right now, my favorite is uncertain in this match to be played after the national team break. Maybe Barcelona seems to have the advantage to me because Real Madrid has so many injuries. However, this is a big match and is open to any score.
The atmosphere of El Clasico this time will be a little different compared to last season because Barcelona has seen an increase in performance since being handled by Hansi Flick. Both teams are aiming for victory for different purposes, Barcelona wants to widen the gap with its rival to 6 points, while Madrid wants to match the points that Barcelona has collected.
Hansi Flick is a little calmer after the international break is over, several players who had been in the treatment room are starting to be available and ready to play in the Big Match. The presence of Dani Olmo, Gavi and Fermín López will make it easier for Hansi Flick to formulate a strategy. Carvajal injury leaves Madrid defense a little fragile, although Ancelotti still has other players ready to play in the right-back area, but it is very difficult for a substitute to match Carvajal abilities. The good news is that Vinicius injury is not too serious, he can play in the first El Clasico of the season.
