El Clasico will be a defining moment for both teams this season, although there's no guarantee who will win La Liga.
We hope there will be a much more balanced competition for both teams, making this rivalry something interesting to watch.
In last season's classics, Real Madrid didn't play, Madrid threw up, that's what they did, because their play was bad from start to finish, Ancelotti didn't know how to replant the team, they didn't have a good defense, I understand that, the players were mostly injured, but it's Madrid, they couldn't lose so badly, a general humiliation and twice, that's something no club should tolerate, that's why Ancelotti left. The games should be much more balanced now, where Madrid should dominate.
You're right that in the previous season, the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid was truly unbalanced, with Barcelona dominating. The proof is that in the first match of the previous season, Barcelona managed to slaughter Real Madrid with a very convincing score of 4-0, then in the second match, Real Madrid was also defeated by Barcelona with a score of 4-3. So, if you look at it, it's clear that Barcelona in the previous season was far superior to Barcelona. Because not only in La Liga, Barcelona was able to beat Real Madrid. But in domestic competitions, Real Madrid always lost to Barcelona in the previous season.
So with that, it's clear that in the previous season, Real Madrid's matches against Barcelona seemed less exciting, because Barcelona was always superior. But this season, there may be a slight change that might make Barcelona not easy to beat Real Madrid. Because this season, Real Madrid comes with several very good new players and also a coach who can be said to be quite good and understands the playing style that suits Real Madrid's players. So, with that in mind, I think this season's El Clasico will be even more exciting. However, I hope Real Madrid doesn't suffer the same injury woes as last season. If they do, I think they'll be thrashed by Barcelona again.
