Barcelona Red Hot
Expect a lot of goals in the El Clasico. Barcelona have scored 20 times in their last six La Liga matches, a remarkable turnaround considering they had only managed nine in their previous six.
Under new coach Xavi Hernandez, key to Barcelona's revival has been the integration of their new arrivals Ferran Torres, Adama Traore and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, plus veteran Dani Alves, who made a sensational return to the club aged 38.
Former Valencia CF striker Ferran, who signed for FC Barcelona in January after a year and a half with Manchester City, has made an emphatic return to Spain, scoring four goals and contributing three assists. He led Barca’s resounding 4-0 win over CA Osasuna last Sunday with two goals after scoring in the 2-1 win away to Elche CF the week before.
Another player who has proved clinical for FC Barcelona has been Aubameyang. The former Arsenal captain has proved an instant hit, banging in a hat-trick in the 4-1 win at Valencia CF in what was only his second league start. The Gabon striker followed that up with a goal against Napoli in the Europa League and strikes in the league wins over Athletic Club and CA Osasuna.
Real Madrid Confident
Real Madrid side is also in blistering form, riding high at the top of the La Liga table and flying in Europe too.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side could not be in a more confident mood after their recent epic comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League.
However, Real Madrid were handed a huge blow as Karim Benzema will miss the game because of a leg injury, Ancelotti said on Saturday. Benzema is having a superb season.
He leads the La Liga 2021-22 with 22 goals. Last week he scored a memorable second-half hat trick to rally Madrid to a 3-2 aggregate win over PSG in the Champions League.
Madrid can still count on winger Vinícius Júnior, who has scored 14 times in the league this campaign. Ancelotti could start Marco Asensio in Benzema’s place as a 'false nine'.
Barcelona will no doubt be spending a lot of their pre-match preparation working out how to stop the unpredictable Brazilian, who ran them ragged in their 3-2 win in the Spanish Super Cup in January.
