La Liga Round 10: Real - Barca

[HeadElastico]

Because our tactic favours his playstyle. It's not rocket science. He is at his best with space in front of him and our gameplan gives him that space. He has it easier to score against us, than against lower LaLiga teams and that's not because we have worse defenders.

Yup and that's why I don't think our advantage in midfield and Lamine factor doesn't matter as much. We need to work hard to score against teams and we are normally good enough to score a few. Madrid need to hoof the ball and let mbappe be 1 v 1. We highlight their strength.

7th in a row ? No doubt.

Joan Garcia will be dearly missed in this game. More than any other player, IMO.

Tempting to change my prediction after having seen that Mbappe never won vs Yamal and never won vs Barca also.

Sucks that both teams are missing players.

Records are meant to be broken. Honestly, with the state of our Alaves defending, I'll be very happy with a draw.

I just realized something: RM bench defenders could easily be starters in our back 4. That's how sh*t we are currently.

Still, knowing Flick I doubt he'll start Raphinha after quite a lengthy absence.

 

[GloryHunter 007]

Cant watch the game on Sunday because of my sister birthday.

Who am I, Neymar?

 

[Andresito]

Normally Raphinha shouldn't start but the fourth attacker is such a big drop in level that he might actually start alongside Fermin, Yamal and Rashy. And we need a win here.

 

[Barcaman]

Kounde out?

 

[TheStig]

Looks like the virus is spreading through the team. If I got it correctly it has taken down Christensen, FDJ and Kounde for now.

 

[BJJ]

2 2 or 3 3.
It will be a high scoring match. We leaj goals but Real defence isnt that great either.

Frenkie de Jong has fully recovered from his gastrointestinal issue and was the first player to arrive at the Ciutat Esportiva for today's training. @monfortcarlos

Spirit/attitude will be vital in a Clasico and under Flick, they have had it perfectly in all of the 5 encounters & wins. Difference here is that some of our more passionate players who understand it are not expected to start (Raphinha & Gavi) - but I suspect that even Marcus who has experience with derbies & big matches is being well informed by club & teammates that this is not like any other encounter
