Pace and tactical hotspots
Under coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid play more cohesively, pressing high and defending solidly. With 11 wins in 12 matches, they have the advantage in terms of rhythm and spirit. On the other hand, Hansi Flick's Barcelona has been affected by injuries, and their pressing has declined, causing them to drop points in matches they thought they would have won.
This El Clasico revolves around two strikers who are being watched: Mbappe at Real Madrid and Yamal at Barcelona. The speed and ability to create breakthroughs of the duo promises to decide the situation in transition phases. Real need to maintain the intensity of pressing to lock down space, while Barca require high cohesion when deploying the ball, avoiding mistakes in the midfield area.
