Barcelona also has problems in the defense area right now. Their best defenders couldn't play in the Inter match. If the same thing happens in the Real Madrid match, Real Madrid might have a chance. Real Madrid wants to get their only win against Barcelona in this match. They haven't been able to win against Barcelona since the beginning of the year. Now they want to put this bad luck aside and beat Barcelona as Real Madrid. Maybe if they win this match, they will have a chance to win the Spanish league as well. Barcelona, who were eliminated in the Champions League, will face Real Madrid with their morale low. Real Madrid should be able to use this as an advantage because they have a tired Barcelona who played for 120 minutes.
From the results of last night's Champions League match, it is quite clear that there are weaknesses in Barcelona's back line. And maybe Real Madrid can really take advantage of this in the upcoming El Classico match. But the problem is that Real Madrid's back line has not been improved and still has weaknesses. So I think the upcoming El Classico match is more difficult to predict. because both teams seem to have the same weaknesses at the moment. But Barcelona as the host can still be superior mentally. But now I'm really having a hard time which team to favourite. Because unexpectedly Barcelona has also been eliminated from the UCL. So Laliga is the only competition they have to seriously focus on right now, just like Real Madrid can only focus on Laliga at the moment.
The players did not play badly in the match. They really dominated the match against Inter. However, sometimes you can lose even if you play well. Inter is a great team, but they are not as strong as Real Madrid, but they still knew how to play very well against Barcelona in terms of tactics. They applied this in the best way in the match and eliminated Barcelona. Now Ancelotti needs to show a similar strategy. Barcelona is currently in a low morale situation and the players are tired. Considering these two effects, they will definitely want to win this match. Because Real Madrid players will play this match more rested. Both teams' defenses will be weak in this match and if I were to place a bet, it would be mutual goals.
