Diomande might be in good form but having experienced player in squad is extremely crucial for such high voltage match. For this reason not having Vini in squad is huge loss for Madrid. Diomande has no prior experience in El Claasico. I have my doubts about whether youngster like Endrick and Diomande can perform well under such high pressure.

Furthermore match will be held at Camp nou. Flick will certainly make good use of the home advantage. Barcellona has won all of their last 4 home match against madrid. Given the sensational form they are in this season as well, chance of them dropping point against Madrid are very slim.

Diomande can't be relied on here, better still not given that much pressure, his signing fee is far enough pressure already.

El classico is a big game we all know that and this might be one of those exciting El classico,  Jose Mourinho is the manager and this makes the rivalry more intense. While Vinicius Junior absence will be a big one, Real Madrid can still cover up to get the win if they can play effectively as a team but this is really difficult to believe as things stand now, all because of their inconsistencies.

Expecting Yan Diomande to probably make the difference in Sunday's first El Clasico of the season I don't think putting too much pressure on the young lad or heavily relying on him.

Recently he's shown that impressive signs of a young star who's got all the needed confidence and ability to hugely contribute to Real Madrid's win.

Majority of football fans are backing Barcelona to win the game but the result at final whistle on  Sunday will tell.

Diomande has no prior experience in El Claasico. I have my doubts about whether youngster like Endrick and Diomande can perform well under such high pressure.

In my opinion, although Diomande has performed very well in helping Real Madrid in recent weeks the prestigious match has prevented him from being immediately fielded by Jose Mourinho, citing the presence of several other players with more experience than Diomande in competitions like El Clasico. Although Vini is currently injured, many are very skeptical about Diomande and Endrick being fielded immediately in such a fierce match, given their lack of experience in such matches.

Vini has been very poor this season and so has his form, the same with last season and it’s not even funny anymore, no amount of experience is worth playing him if he’s so bad, he should be benched. We can’t keep blaming mbappe for Vinicius poor form, I mean we can see that mbappe hasn’t  hindered yan diomande from performing so why should Vini “a more experienced player” be hindered. I’ve always said this that retaining vini was a bad decision from Perez, mbappe is the future, we should focus on the future. Ancelloti could not make it work, Alonso couldn’t, so far mourinho hasn’t. We need to accept the status quo and find a way to move forward

I know Barca has a decent attack and midfield that can trouble Madrid, but they lack an experienced CB in their squad now, which can affect them against a team like Madrid. Curbasi and Gerard Martin are both youngsters, I just hope they can hold up the Madrid attack which has been consistent in their last two games.

Don't worry we might summon a midfielder to act as a false CB for that day  . We have too much midfielders sitting on the bench and doing nothing every game. But to be frank, I've always knew no experienced CB will be a problem at some and here we are, the only guy who seem a bit experienced Eric Garcia is on injury.

Christensen is mostly avergae in some games but i guess Flick is probably going to start him or same Martin along with Cubarsi once again. We atill have Balde and Cancelo to cover RBand LB.

Injuries have really become a constant worry for Barcelona’s defence, meaning that in this El Clasico match , Barcelona doesn’t have many options at the defensive end. Therefore, they will likely rely heavily on their strength in midfield, and there is one thing they must bear in mind : Barcelona must not let their guard down when playing with a high defensive line, because the moment their defence lets one in due to a blunder, Real Madrid has several players with tremendous pace, and that could spell disaster for Barcelona’s defence. So if Barcelona concede a goal, the solution is that they  must be able to respond with more goals , and it looks as though this match will be a decisive battle to see which of the two sides has the sharper frontline.

It doesn't matter if you summon a player to support the defense, I think the defense will still not be able to contain Real Madrid attack, even with an experienced defender. If an experienced defender is added to the squad it might help but I still don't think it'll help much because of the high line defensive strategy Barcelona use. I'm just still surprised why the team hasn't thought of getting n experienced defender despite knowing fully well that it will be very helpful and will help stabilize the team a little.

No matter what I don't think Barcelona can prevent Real Madrid from scoring goals. I think what they prefer to focus on is out scoring their opponents, maybe that will work against Real Madrid because they have a very good midfield and attack.

In the PSG match, we also saw the lack of experienced players. Because Barcelona wanted to attack inside at once and Barcelona could not do that and they wasted many chances like that. If we had seen experienced players, then PSG would have made decisions like PSG and whenever the chance was created, they would have attacked.

However, the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be a tough fight. Because Barcelona lacks experienced players and Real Madrid is gradually improving. However, in the match, I will keep Barcelona ahead of the winner. But let's see what kind of result we face.

Vini has been very poor this season and so has his form, the same with last season and it’s not even funny anymore, no amount of experience is worth playing him if he’s so bad, he should be benched. We can’t keep blaming mbappe for Vinicius poor form, I mean we can see that mbappe hasn’t  hindered yan diomande from performing so why should Vini “a more experienced player” be hindered.

That guy is going through a lot. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with his face left, a lot of people are giving their conspiracy theory that the Vinicious in the field now isn't the Vini of the last one that played for Real Madrid. I know that's all jokes and banter to get on his nerve but joke aside, this guy is totally a different person than the guy that played for Real Madrid last season. He used to be that guy that everyone admire when the team is down,bnow he seems to be the one putting the team down.

There is talk about his relationship, they seems to have broke up too. I'm not sure how certain this information looks. If that's through, then he is going through a mental break down and emotionally instability. There is no way an unhappy player will do well among his peers. I'm glad the red card was given to him, he can use the time to recover and get back to the team strongly.

You are right. Barcelona's attacking is very strong but even though they have won the last few matches, they have had to concede goals. Especially Barcelona lost 4-2 to PSG. This really shows the weakness of their defense. If Barcelona plays against Real Madrid with this same defensive strategy then it is really a matter of concern. And from this point of view Barcelona's injury problem should also be considered. Because Barcelona's defense is not strong. On the other hand, if an important player in the defense is missing, it can create a bigger negative impact. So I think that in the next match that Barcelona will play against Real Madrid, they should follow the best attacking strategy and increase goal scoring. Now, considering the overall situation Barcelona is slightly better position of Real Madrid. Nothing can be predicted easily in El Clásico. So we have to wait until the match starts.

However, the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be a tough fight. Because Barcelona lacks experienced players and Real Madrid is gradually improving. However, in the match, I will keep Barcelona ahead of the winner. But let's see what kind of result we face.

Barcelona attacking strategy was right from the start but PSG defence was well prepared and countered every attack. PSG manager Luis Enrique understood Barcelona strategy very well and prepared in advance. Even though the two teams were tied 2-2 at one stage, PSG kept attacking and doubled the lead in a very short time.

PSG wasted more scoring chances than Barcelona, ​​look at the match statistics, both teams had almost the same number of shots but PSG had 14 shots on target while Barcelona had only 9 shots on target.

Barcelona will face Real Madrid in the next El Clasico match, there is excitement among the fans in the football world around this match. Barcelona has a high chance of winning which is correct but winning the match with Real Madrid may not be that easy because the team has improved recently.

It is very important, most especially to Barcelona fans. They want to exert the anger of their loss to PSG on them in the La Liga. Real Madrid fans had the most celebration when they lost that night, so they should get prepared to meet them in the El Classico.

Losing to PSG and taking frustration out on Real Madrid? Hmm, that's just an excuse to cover up Barcelona's defeat. Not all Madrid fans are happy when Barcelona lose. I'm a Madrid fan myself, and I honestly don't care what Barcelona achieve.

This game may also have one or two to tell about who wins the trophy in the long run. This match will be nothing short of intriguing.

From my personal perspective, as a Madrid fan, I already knew what was going to happen. The difference between the two squads was already clear, as Barcelona have midfielders who can control the tempo in both attack and defense. On top of that, Vinicius will also miss the match. So, without even having to say much, Barcelona have a better chance of winning.

But that doesn't mean winning this El Clasico will guarantee Barcelona any titles in the long run.

Then Vinícius Júnior should have been sold to Arsenal, Vinícius Júnior is not getting the respect he deserves here, he is not adapting to the team, his performance is deteriorating day by day, and the team probably doesn't care much about him now, in such a situation it makes no sense to keep Vinícius Júnior in the team, Madrid should sell him, and I think it is good for Madrid and also good for Vinícius, because Madrid is basically full of star players, and Vinícius is not getting the respect he deserves, he is in the shadow of Kylian Mbappé.

If Vinícius Júnior could have joined Arsenal in the last transfer windows, it would have been even better, there he could have adapted much better than in Madrid. Although Vinícius' form has been much worse than last season, and so even if Madrid wants to sell Vinícius in the next winter transfer window, it doesn't seem like he will get an offer from a good club now with his performance. But even after that, let's see if Vinícius can improve himself, his current contract with Madrid is much longer, his contract until 2032, so Madrid may not think about selling Viní.

But within yourself who do you think is the favorite to win that game? All man is entitled to his opinion no doubt, but isn't this one too obvious? Anyways I can't jump into conclusion because this is a game of football anything can actually happen, but deep down I see no stress for Barcelona on that game, despite their humiliating lost against Paris Saint Germain, I still see Real Madrid as a no match for them, but I will just have to keep calm and see what the game offers us that day, but my prediction is Barcelona direct winning.

Honestly it’s sad to watch vini playing so bad like this, he has done a lot for the club and rightly deserves the support he’s seeking for. He’s a very emotional guy and he’s the type of player that cares deeply about support and peoples opinion about him, I think he said earlier about a week or two back that he likes it when the fans support him and he plays better under such conditions, but you can’t expect the fans to keep supporting you when there is no visible change and this wasn’t just a 1 season situation it’s been going for a while now and piling up.

As a professional footballer peoples opinions should be secondary and that’s why he keeps throwing tantrums when things don’t go his way, he reads way too deeply into insignificant things.

I might even consider betting on a high number of yellow cards or a sending off in this match. Barcelona played pretty aggressively even against PSG, and I think there will be even more physical clashes in the Real Madrid - Barcelona match. I’m not sure who the favorite is, it’s very difficult to pick one team in matches like these. Real Madrid aren’t in such bad form right now that we can talk about Barcelona having a clear advantage in this match.

Barcelona has always outscored Real Madrid in previous El Clásico games. The ball is in their court to win, but at this time, Jose Mourinho took his time to watch the game Barcelona played against PSG in the Champions League. He now knows how to beat Barcelona in the El Clásico. Barcelona is not invisible. They have defensive errors a lot of the time. A team with pace and fast players will score lots of goals against Barcelona.

I agree with you, this will be the biggest game he will be playing since his signing, putting this pressure on him in his first big game is not ideal, so much shouldn't be expected of him let him play his normal football and if he performs well good, if not he will keep on improving. His new to the club and his adapting. We can see that his playing more time than when the season first started, the simple explanation to this is that his improving as his playing more games. Yes, majority are backing Barcelona and the form that they are is another thing to be afraid of, they scored many goals in a single games, maybe Real Madrid can try to surprise us or Barcelona will again damage them.

In answer to your question, most people will probably provide their opinion in favor of Barcelona. Just because a team has lost one match in the Champions League does not mean that they will lose the next match. In El Clasico, I will name Barcelona as the favorite. But Real Madrid was a very strong opponent in the tournament, but even if the team is not in that situation at the moment, there is a possibility that they can shine at any time and defeat Barcelona.

Every gambler may take their decisions very carefully when it comes to betting. But no one can come to a hasty conclusion that which team will definitely win. We considered Barcelona as the favorite against PSG, but the result was different. In the upcoming match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, the team we consider the favorite may also lose.

[broccolo9]

No matter what I don't think Barcelona can prevent Real Madrid from scoring goals. I think what they prefer to focus on is out scoring their opponents, maybe that will work against Real Madrid because they have a very good midfield and attack.

It is well known that Barcelona certainly doesn't shine in the performance of their defense, I think even the walls know this by now.
So imagine if he can block talents or even simple normal attackers.
Let's say that Barcelona wins because their attack scares, which also works as a deterrent, the teams get scared and play defense.

[Nwadiche]

It's obvious that Barcelona can't withstand pressure from other big clubs in Europe, i can't just imagine Barcelona losing to PSG on their last champions league clash. Like i was surprised that PSG won Barcelona again this season because this same PSG beat Barcelona last season champions league by 1-2 still win them this time around. Upon all their form this season with high goals scoring both home and aways matches Barcelona has been informed since the beginning of the season and PSG played 3 straight draws in a row for us to see what they did to Barcelona at the champions league clash was so embarrassing. I never expected such goals Barcelona conceded that night from PSG, this mean that if both teams happen to meet at the final PSG will definitely win the trophy.

[moneystery]

Regarding Real Madrid, the more they are underestimated and doubted, the more they will prove themselves in a more prestigious competition. If you remember, a few years ago, Real Madrid failed to win the La Liga title, but they focused on the UCL and successfully won it instead. So for me, whatever the result of the upcoming El Clasico will be, it is not that important.

It's still really important. After all, the El Clasico match is a matter of pride, and if Real Madrid gets destroyed by Barcelona in this game, it wouldn't just make them lose 3 points, but could also be a blow to their confidence.
So Real Madrid will definitely be looking for a way to win this match. Even though it's so tough since Barcelona is in impressive form and playing at home, especially after they were just beaten by PSG, this match is very likely to become a proving ground for Barcelona that they are not so easy to beat and will strengthen their position at the top of the standings.
