Real Madrid vs Barcelona: El Clásico team news

Real Madrid make it to this game in high spirits after putting up a defensive masterclass against Manchester City and earning a spot in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. If that was not enough, Los Merengues are unbeaten in their last 16 games (all comps), with eleven of those ending in wins. The team has relied heavily on Jude Bellingham and Vinicius to score goals, as both have teamed up to score 28, but if they are not able to prove their worth against the Catalan side, Rodrygo could be their go-to guy with ten goals to show for this season.

Meanwhile, Barcelona enter this tie following their disappointing exit from the Champions League at the hands of PSG, who dominated them 4-1 at Lluis Companys Stadium. Before that game, the Blaugrana held a 13-game streak without a loss, where ten of those ended in wins for Xavi’s men. Barcelona have been unbeaten in La Liga since January 27, a run that has included wins on the road against Atlético (3-0), Alavés (3-1), and Cádiz (1-0), their last game prior to Sunday’s clash. In terms of their goalscoring prowess, it is obvious to mention Robert Lewandowski’s contribution, with 13 goals to his name.

Both teams will have to adapt to some absences that could be key to the outcome of the game. That being said, here is the list of unavailable footballers for this La Liga match.

Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba (injured); Dani Carvajal, Vinicius Jr. (doubtful).

Barcelona: Gavi, Alejandro Balde (injured).
