Barcelona and Real Madrid are set to meet each other again, but this time in the La Liga where the competition is very tight. The league leaders have a 4 point advantage over Madrid and they are most likely to win the league. But there’s one good and one bad news for Hansi Flick’s side as Balde has sustained an injury and will be unavailable for El Clásico. Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski will make it into the squad as he is now back from injury.
Spanish football’s fiercest rivalry reignites once again as Barcelona and Real Madrid prepare to lock horns in La Liga — and this time, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With just a few games remaining in the season, every point counts, and Barcelona currently sit atop the table with a slender four-point lead over their eternal rivals.
Hansi Flick’s side is now considered the frontrunner in the title race, but the upcoming El Clásico could prove decisive. A win for Barcelona would all but secure the league title, while a victory for Madrid would blow the race wide open.
However, Barça head into the match with mixed news. On the downside, young full-back Alejandro Balde has sustained an injury and will miss the clash — a significant blow considering his pace and defensive contributions. On the brighter side, star striker Robert Lewandowski has returned from injury and is set to be included in the squad, giving the Catalans a much-needed boost in attack.
