After 8 rounds, Barcelona are leading La Liga teams in the first place followed by Real Madrid. Interestingly in October, there will be a game between Barcelona and Real Madrid which is the best chance for every team to catch and advance.
What's a bit funny is that game will come after Barcelona's match against Bayern Munich in Champions League


Meetings between Barcelona and Bayern very rarely end in anything other than a terrible way for Barcelona. It will be interesting to see if Bayern can continue the tradition this year. But no matter how this game ends in the Clasico, the formal advantage will be on Barcelona's side, as Real only needs a win, while Barcelona will be happy even with a draw to maintain their 3-point advantage.
Barcelona have to play two big match in just three days, but before that Hansi Flick has to be more careful when his team faces Sevilla because the players' fitness is very much needed to face Bayern Munich on Matchday 3 of the UCL. This match is not easy for Barcelona because H2H always favors Bayern Munich. The good news is, Barcelona performance this season is much better than before and they will try to take advantage of the home game to get full points. In my opinion, Barcelona will try to maintain a three-point gap with Real Madrid in the El Clasico match. They must play disciplined and take every opportunity to avoid defeat to Real Madrid. A draw was enough for them due to the players' fatigue after a big fight in the UCL.
