Summary: Glatsray - Barcelona 2: 1 (Sport 1)

Real Madrid is a clear favorite, but the Clasico has its own rules, and it seems that Carlo Ancelotti also understands this ahead of tomorrow's game (Sunday, 22:00) against Barcelona at the Bernabeu.

The gap between Real who lead the table safely and their arch-rival is 15 points, but Ancelotti made it clear to the players that "for me, the Clasico should be treated as a final for everything."



At the press conference ahead of the game, Ancelotti confirmed reports that Karim Benzema would miss the game, with the exception that defender Perlan Mandy was not included in the squad.

Benzema, who is suffering from a minor injury, will also miss the friendly matches of the French national team against Ivory Coast and South Africa.



According to Ancelotti, "I have already decided who will open the place in Benzema, but I am not ready to find out who it is. Gareth Bale is one of the options, but we also have Mariano, Jovic, Rodrigo and Isco. I have already chosen the player who will best suit this game. ".

According to reports, the leading candidate to open is Mariano,



The Blancos know that all odds are in their favor: they have not lost a Clásico for three years (since March 2019) they have beaten Barça already at the Camp Nou this season, and come into the game with the best home balance in the Spanish league when they are unbeaten at the Bernabeu.

A win will bring them significantly closer to securing a championship win.



Estimated Real Madrid

squad: Thibaut Courtois, Danny Carvajal, Adar Militau, David Alaba, Marcelo, Casimiro, Tony Cross, Luca Modric, Marco Asensio, Mariano Diaz, Vinicius.

On the other hand, Barcelona arrives in the big battle almost without pressure.

Xavi (who has already managed to lose one Clasico as a coach) has brought a new and fresh spirit to the lines, and in recent weeks Barça have been at their peak, with four consecutive league wins in a 2:14 goal ratio.

In Catalonia it is estimated that Osman Dembele will be preferred over Adama Traore on the wing, Danny Alves will return to the right-back position and Eric Garcia will receive the credit alongside Gerard Pique on defense.



Jordi Alba explained yesterday that despite the scoring gaps between the teams, Barcelona (it lacks a game) is still in the championship battle.

"The Clasico is our real game of the season. The goal is to win and continue to fight for the championship," said the veteran left-back.

"It's true that we lost a lot of points this season in away games and that our distance from first place is quite large, but we have high motivation, and the feelings are very optimistic."



Estimated composition of Barcelona:

Mark Andre Ter Stegen, Danny Alves, Gerard Pique, Eric Garcia, Jordi Alba, Pedry, Sergio Busquets, Frankie de Jong, Osman Dembele, Pierre-Emerick Obmiang, Fran Torres.
