Match preview

Barcelona head into El Clásico in outstanding form, having produced a near-perfect La Liga campaign so far with 29 wins, one draw, and only four defeats from 34 matches. Hansi Flick’s side are riding a ten-game winning streak in the league and strengthened their grip on the title race with a controlled 2-1 victory over Osasuna last time out.

For the Catalans, this showdown offers more than just three points — it presents the opportunity to move one step closer to the championship against their fiercest rivals. Although Lamine Yamal’s season-ending injury limits Barcelona’s attacking variety, the return of Raphinha, Lewandowski’s sharp form, Fermín López’s energy, and the possibility of Marcus Rashford featuring still give Flick plenty of firepower against a Madrid defense that has looked shaky at times.

Real Madrid travel to Camp Nou surrounded by growing pressure both on and off the pitch. Álvaro Arbeloa’s men secured a 2-0 win over Espanyol and have collected seven points from their last three league matches, but the gap to Barcelona remains enormous, leaving Los Blancos with only a slim mathematical chance of retaining the title.

Off-field tensions have added further complications for Madrid. Reports of dressing-room unrest intensified after a clash involving Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni reportedly left the captain injured, while ongoing speculation around Kylian Mbappé continues to fuel uncertainty. Even so, Madrid still possess enough quality to threaten any opponent: Courtois and Mbappé are both available, Vinícius Júnior remains their main attacking spark, and Bellingham continues to connect the midfield and attack despite the squad issues. Notably, Real have conceded in five of their last six away fixtures.

Probable lineups

Barcelona: García, Koundé, Cubarsí, Martín, Cancelo, Eric García, Pedri, Rashford, Gavi, Fermín López, Lewandowski.

Real Madrid: Courtois, Alexander-Arnold, Rüdiger, Huijsen, Fran García, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, Pitark, Bellingham, Vinícius, Mbappé.
