Prediction: 2-1
Barcelona
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu when Real Madrid and Barcelona lock horns in “El Clasico” on Sunday evening. Los Blancos survived Mallorca at the weekend, with Aurelien Tchouameni sealing the victory, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against their bitter rivals. Vinicius Junior is widely expected to return to the starting XI as well as Dani Carvajal, while fit-again defender Eder Militao should start from the bench. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and centre-back David Alaba remain in the recovery room.
Barca, on the other hand, aim to melt Real Madrid’s advantage in the La Liga standings to only five points, but seeing that los Blancos are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to place our bets on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops. Robert Lewandowski is back to the starting XI after missing the Cadiz game through suspension, whereas both Andreas Christensen and Sergi Roberto return from the Champions League ban. Talented midfielder Gavi misses out with injury.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
