Real Madrid:What should we expect from a pre-season El Clasico?

 

 

Assuming there was ever the ideal way for Real Madrid to start the pre-season in the wake of winning the UEFA Champions League, it was by playing timeless opponents Barcelona. Los Blancos will take on the Catalans in Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium, just the second time that an El Clásico will happen in the United States.

 

There has been a ton of buzz encompassing the game, with new Barcelona player Raphinha expressing that Barcelona are a preferable group over Real Madrid, while Barcelona president Joan Laporta set up a massive promotion in Las Vegas which read, "Don't stress Merengues, what occurs in [Las] Vegas stays in Vegas. In addition to that, the last time these two goliaths conflicted off, Xavi's side go crazy, scoring four objectives at the Bernabéu.

 

The Blaugrana have been extremely dynamic in the exchange market, marking players like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, and Franck Kessié. Real Madrid, in the interim, got the signings of Antonio Rüdiger and Aurélien Tchouaméni. They will be supposed to make their informal presentation for the club in the amicable Clásico.

 

What's in store from the game?

This match will be completely a wafer. Barcelona have begun their pre-season with a 6-0 drubbing of Inter Miami, with Raphinha sparkling specifically, scoring once and helping two objectives. Despite the fact that they neglected to win the Europa League last season, Xavi did a generally excellent occupation at reviving what once appeared to be a sinking transport, a boat bound to go at the lower part of the sea.

 

Being a Real Madrid fan, I would clearly expect a Real Madrid win. Be that as it may, according to an unbiased point of view, and given it's the first pre-season game for Carlo Ancelotti and Co., having objectives in abundance in Las Vegas will be enjoyable. This game will not, using any and all means, act as a forerunner to next prepare. Neither of the three games will, as a matter of fact. Recall when Atlético Madrid won 7-3 in the 2019-20 pre-season, yet Real Madrid figured out how to secure the association?

 

Pre-season is tied in with preparing up for the new season by getting match-fit. It likewise serves a secret for how great the new signings will be, which are Rüdiger and Tchouaméni in Real Madrid's case. Nonetheless, Karim Benzema will be missing on the grounds that he showed up to preparing only a couple of days back. Dani Carvajal is likewise liable to miss the game subsequent to limping away from the instructional course on Friday because of issues in his left lower leg.

Development: 4-3-3
