Barcelona will win they are always on form when facing madrid.
As of right now I think Real Madrid are favorites to win La Liga over Barcelona and it could change in the next couple of months.
Real Madrid have coped very well without the likes of Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois who picked up major injuries at the start of the season and there have been games where they haven’t quite looked at their brilliant best but have won 8 out of 10 league games and majority of those wins they’ve won points after coming back from behind and this is the resilience required from a team in a league season if they are to be champions and while I think they can play better this could be their winning formula this season. The form of Jude Bellingham has helped them cope without Karim Benzema because the big discussion was who was gonna score the goals for Real Madrid in attack Vinicius Junior spent some time injured Rodrygo had a slow start to the season Joselu has been in good form for them of late he’s more of a backup striker but the man of the moment for Real Madrid has been Jude Bellingham and sometimes you wonder where they would be without his exploits has in the league he has scored 8 goals including 3 game winners and even if they can’t keep relying on him to score every time they have a match winner that they can depend on. They also have the best midfield depth in the world with a lot of quality midfielders and also still have strong defensive players like David Alaba Antonio Rudiger who’s been in good form this season and Dani Carvajal so Real Madrid has enough quality to win La Liga this season as right now they’re the team to beat and they drew against Sevilla last week against Barcelona they are the favorites going into that game.
Barcelona have yet to lose a single game in La Liga this season as they’ve won 7 out of their first 10 games including 3 draws. A lot of their games this season they’ve had to grind out some narrow wins come back from behind to win or draw games and they’ve been excellent despite dealing with a major injury crisis this season. I feel like that’s a massive concern because right now some key players are out of action for Barcelona like Pedri Robert Lewandowksi Frenkie de Jong Raphinha and Jules Kounde and I get younger talent like Marc Guiu Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal are rising and are taking their chances very well when Xavi calls upon these young players but I feel like he needs these important players to come back from injury because this team on paper has a very good squad this season and sometimes you wonder how good this team can be when everyone stays fit. At times defensively they’re not as solid this season as they were last season as they’ve given up more goals and that’s something they’re looking to resolve more but they’ve shown the resilience to win close games and find a way to come back from behind and if they keep certain players fit they could be La Liga title favorites over Real Madrid.
REAL VS ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI 0 : 3😁😆😆😅😅😆😆😁😁😁😁🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐Messi still Balland D.Or for Robert Lewandowski 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Real Madrid will win the el clasico and the league
5:10 Vini Jr and Rodrygo are home grown players? Funniest thing I have heard today
Give it to Barça 2-1💙❤
If real didn't win this one I won't eat for 3 days.
Barcelona will lose 1-2 or 0-3
I'm a Madrista but based on the starting 11 Ancelotti has been selecting I'm not at all confident about Saturday it can go either way but a lot of the responsibility is going to be on Jude and Vinnie to perform
Props to Janusz for his Atletico Aviación shirt. When the Clasico ends in a draw and with Atleti playing at home against Alaves… La Liga is going to be open for Atleti to keep fighting to win the title.
0:43 "look what happened"
yeah, clos gomez and the friends of Negreira happened. last year was the worst I remember. It was also the worst barsa I remember.
Did my ears play a trick on me? Ronaldinho had the same work ethic as C. Ronaldo? How can this guy get paid to talk about football?
If hard headed ancelotti puts 4 mids again surely he will get beaten. Maybe he should call zizou and ask for help. Carlo has been outsmarted by a newbie coach (xavi) and its embarassing, he is taking this game so lightly. If he loses this game im not going to he surprised if perez throws him out.
No one talks about militao our big miss as real madrid
I said it he will play camavinga at left back again. Can't wait for season to be over so that anceloti can be gone. Scary cat you have left back in Mandy and Garcia. Stop starting kroos and play camavinga in the middle damnt 😢
As a Madrid man.. I'll say 😂😂 Barca has never been on form like the way they use to be whenever playing against Madrid for real.. and I hope Ancelotti uses the right people for Us.. let Mendy or Garcia play Left back. Camavinga, Tchoumeni and Valverde should start. And we use 4-3-3 against Barca.. these way Barca will find it hard to breathe in Campnou
Hala Madrid
Vini (Forever) Jn and Rodrigo are 'home grown' talents for Real Madrid now…?!?
LMFAO
The only reason I come to ESPN-FC is for the slap-stick pro-right wing fascist comedy.
Come on guys Madrid is winning easily 3-1
I think Barcelona will just find a way to win this game 😩😫
