The eyes of the soccer world zero in on the Santiago Bernabéu for the first meeting of the season between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
El Clásico is one of the biggest rivalries in the sport and all the ingredients are there to make this edition a firecracker of a soccer match.
Barcelona arrives to Madrid on a high. Hansi Flick's men are coming of one of Barcelona's best performances in years in the UEFA Champions League after winning 4–1 over Bayern Munich. The team looked dominant to start the season and now it's also getting healthier.
Frenkie De Jong, Dani Olmo, Fermin López and Gavi all returned to action for the Blaugranas in the last month. With his midfield players now all ready for selection, Flick must decide who makes it into an already stacked XI.
Barcelona enters the home of its biggest rivals with a clear objective in mind: Ending Los Blancos' four game winning streak in EL Clásico. Look for Flick to stick with a similar lineup to the one that dominated midweek in the Champions League.
