The title La Liga is at stake when Real Madrid faces Barcelona during the last El Clásico of the season.
After being eliminated from the Champions League in the quarterfinals and lost the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid’s last chance to obtain a major trophy this season comes down to La Liga. Los Blancos has won its last four championship games to maintain pressure on Barcelona at the top of the table.
With only four points separating the two rivals, El Clásico promises to be a title discovery match. After all, if Barcelona shares with three points, they will all ensure the Spanish crown. Real Madrid, on the other hand, could reduce the gap to a single point with Victoire, but they will have to do it without the wounded Antonio Rüdiger, Ferland Mendy, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavonga, Éder Militão and Dani Carvajal.
Los Blancos enters the match as the best rested side after Barcelona has just played 120 minutes in the second stage of the Champions League semi-finals against Inter Milan. Real Madrid hopes that the Catalans will always be in shock from their devastating elimination of the Champions League on Sunday in their quest for their first victory of El Clásico of the season.
This is what XI Madrid could look like Barcelona on May 11.
GK: Thibaut Courtois– With a defense of fortune in front of him, Courtois will have to be at his best to silence one of the best attacks in Europe.
RB: Lucas Vázquez—Vázquez obviously fought against Raphinha in the final of the Copa del Rey, but Carlo Ancelotti has no choice but to start Spanish on the right flank; Fede Valverde is necessary in the midfield.
CB: Raúl Asencio– As the only center of the first team available in the Real Madrid team, Asencio will have to direct the defense at the age of 21.
CB: Aurélien Tchouameni—The last time that Tchouammeni started the center against Barcelona in Flick, the Catalans exceeded five goals after Real Madrid. The Frenchman has a chance of redemption with Alaba and Rüdiger for the season.
LB: Fran García—The the future of García in Real Madrid is uncertain, but he now has the opportunity to prove his value to the club with Mendy sidelined to the 2025-20126 campaign.
DM: Fede Valverde– Uruguayan will seek to control the tempo of the game and to prevent Barcelona from enjoying extended possession spells.
DM: Dani Ceballos– The biggest ancelotti decision amounts to choosing between Ceballos or Luka Modrić. After his impressive performance against Celta Vigo last weekend, the Italian manager could be more inclined to give the head of Ceballos.
RW: Arda Güler– It is impossible to keep the 20 -year -old on the bench. In his last three appearances, Güler recorded two goals and two assists. Rodrygo, on the other hand, has only succeeded in his last 22 appearances.
AM: Jude Bellingham—BELLINGHAM has a story of manifesting yourself against Barcelona. The English international scored three goals against the Catalans last season and was the best player in Real Madrid in the final of Copa del Rey.
LW: Vinícius Júnior—With Jules Koundé is injured, Vinícius Júnior will have the advantage over anyone who decides to start back on the back.
ST: Kyian Mbappé—Bappé almost sparked a return for Real Madrid in the final of the Copa del Rey with a brilliant free kick. The Frenchman is two goals to break the club record of all time for a player in his first season.
