El Clasico has seen waves of one-sidedness over the course of 247 meetings between Barcelona and Real Madrid. While the balance of power has shifted recently in favor of the Catalans since Pep Guardiola took over, and even under Ernesto Valverde,
Madrid has won the last four games against Barcelona by scores of 1-2, 2-1, 1-3, and 2-0. In fact, the last time the garnet and blue triumphed was in March 2019, when Ivan Rakitic scored the game's lone goal.
Real Madrid and Barcelona meet in the Spanish Supercup Semifinals, which are being held in Saudi Arabia. When the two sides met in the first El Clasico of the season last October, Los Blancos were able to conquer the Camp Nou, but Barcelona has new faces and will try to use this game to turn their season around.
In terms of individual records, Real Madrid talisman Karim Benzema has the best record against Barcelona of any player in the two current squads.
Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Benzema.
Barcelona predicted XI: Ter Stegen, Alves, Araujo, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Nico, Gavi, Dembele, Jutgla, Ferran Torres.
Carvajal appears to be ready to return to the starting lineup following his recovery from the injury he sustained in the Madrid Derby against Atletico. Coach Ancelotti, on the other hand, could take a cautious approach and start Vazquez. Last weekend, Asensio delivered an outstanding performance, but Rodrygo could replace him in the lineup with fresher legs.
According to Barcelona-based newspapers, new signing Ferran Torres could make his debut for the club.
