Barcelona:
The defending champion has started the season with an impressive offensive form, accumulating 27 points in the first 9 stages and having an outstanding goal scorer of 39 goals scored. The team relies on the homogeneity of the lot, on the midfield pillar, Rodri (transferred for 60 million euros), and on Lamine Yamal’s explosion. Midfielder Dani Olmo is unavailable due to injury. Also, defender Jules Koundé represents a great uncertainty for Flick. Under these circumstances, Fermín López is expected to start as the holder in the classic 4-2-3-1 system.
Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Joan García – Jules Koundé / Xavi Espart, Seedes, Martín, Joao Cancelo – Rodri, Pedri – Lamine Yamal, Fermín López, Raphinha – Gordon.
Real Madrid:
After a massive summer procurement campaign, worth 225 million euros — which brought Yan Diomande and Marc Cucurella — the Madridians are still looking for their perfect constancy under José Mourinho. A win at Camp Nou is mandatory to stop the Catalans’ detachment in the standings. Mourinho will most likely bet on the devastating speed of the attack made up of Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, trying to take advantage of Barcelona’s advanced defence.
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Thibaut Courtois – Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Dean Huijsen, Marc Cucurella – Arda Güler, Federico Valverde – Jude Bellingham, Ousmane Diomande, Aurélien Tchouaméni – Kylian Mbappé.
