Today is the day of the first Spanish Classic between Real Madrid and Barcelona, a match that captures the attention of the whole world. Dani Carvajal joins the list of absentees and will miss the entire season.
Barcelona leads La Liga and has shown an offensive and effective game under the direction of Hansi Flick. Raphinha and Lamine Yamal are standout players who have shone in the Catalan team.
Real Madrid, for its part, arrives at the Classic with an unbeaten streak in La Liga, in addition to an epic comeback in the Champions League. Vinícius Junior and new signing Kylian Mbappé are key pieces for the Merengues.
Last season, Real Madrid dominated the matchups against Barcelona in La Liga, but the Catalans won the last meeting during pre-season.
The match will take place at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium this Saturday at 13:00 hours. Both teams arrive with important absentees, like Marc-André ter Stegen and Rodrygo, but with players in great form like Robert Lewandowski.
An exciting Classic is expected with Mbappé debuting in this high-voltage clash in Spanish football.
