La Liga Round 10: Real - Barca 2-1

[RedxMAK]

Also I think that if Mbappe is on form we are winning for sure

Game will be decided by Madrid's finishing. They sure as hell get lots of chances to score. If they convert it's bad for us.
Our main weapon from last season - the attack, is not firing on all cylinders.

I believe in the team no matter what and I really think they can win on Sunday. If they just stay motivated and have the drive to win, we can win the game. I’m not that scared of Madrid, I’m only scared of Mbappe…

Yep Mbappe is by far their most dangerous man. What giving me hope is that Atletico managed to score 5 against them + Fermin on fire 😁🔥

All I'm asking for this Clasico is not to lose the game, that's all.

I just hope Flick forbids Tek to run out of the box. If he fouls Mbappe inside, it's just a penalty + yellow, because we don't have double punishments anymore. But if he fouls him outside, gets a red and then a boy from the fourth league needs to replace him, it'll be brutal.
Best case scenario will be us scoring first and force them to open up to easier counter-attacks. If they score and we need to take more risks, in our current physical state, it'll be brutal.

 

[FC B]

If Tek blunders again I'll be fuming.

Yesterday he gave a few very bad passes, if he does it once in El Clasico it would mean a goal conceded.

Guess..

Fermin LW/AM
Rashford CF
Yamal RW

Frenkie CM/AM from right
Pedri - B2B DM
Casado/Eric - Defensive DM

Would guess it will be Cubarsi/Araujo CBs and pray.

Real looked very dodgy defending set pieces v Atletico and would have Araujo on for that and probably Eric at DM also for that reason.

Energy out wide and balls into box is what nailed Real vs Atletico.

Probably the lineup that Flick will use. Attack could change only if Ferran/Rapha will start which I doubt. In midfield/defence the main question is where Eric will play. I'm sure he'll start, I just don't know if in RB, CB or DM, all the options are possible.

 

[Andresito]

We need a win here, even if it's an away game and we are missing important starters.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Just watched the highlights of this amazing clasico, was also at 26th October !

 

[Barcaman]

Would start Casa no problem. Remember last year's Clasico around this time? Obvious Frenkie and Pedri complete the midfield. Rashy, Fermin, Lamine up-front. Defense? What defense?

This time we'll have some assets on the bench in Raphinha and Ferran.

 

[jamrock]

I would sacrifice Torres from the start, if he picks up an injury no big deal.

My favourite day of the year. Hate the 4:15 kickoff.

No Lewa so Rashford probably spearpoints the assault. Raphinha missed training few days ago but hopefully he's ready. Kounde and Casado need to step up. No Flick also.

Alaba will be a big miss for Real Madrid. Trent also returning, along with Huijsen, Ceballos and Carvajal but those 3 will probably be on bench. No Rudiger. Real probably plays 4-2-3-1 and Barca 4-3-3.

Pedri will crush the midfield battle most likely. Voted for a 1-1 draw with Rashford and Vini scoring.

Sadly, as always, on all forums there's already talk about referees helping either team. I can understand after the fact but before it even started?

Hopefully the best team gets 3 points.

1-1 come on

I don't believe we are either conceding or scoring that little

I can see an absolute shitshow, battering on either side or some madness score like 4-4, 5-4, 5-5

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Looks like Real is having a tough match vs Juve + 1 day less recovery than Barca so we should be fresher than them on Sunday

 

[HeadElastico]

It doesn't really matter about how real Madrid play because the way our defense is at the moment - all you need to do is hoof the ball and mbappe is through on goal (and doesn't miss in this form).

We can control midfield, possession..none of it matters if we gift the fastest striker in the world exactly what he wants. Three easy balls and he game is done.

Flick hasn't shown any indication of changing that line and so I predict 4-2 Madrid. I think the players can outplay Madrid midfield on but I'm not optimistic about our tactics plus horrendous performances of the defenders
