Barcelona vs Real Madrid – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Barcelona and Real Madrid meet in El Clasico this weekend with the stakes high at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Barcelona lead the title race by four points heading into the final four fixtures, and victory would put the Catalans within touching distance of La Liga. Hansi Flick’s side suffered an agonising Champions League exit in midweek, but remain on course for a domestic treble.

Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final last month and also defeated their eternal rivals to lift the Spanish Super Cup earlier in the season. La Blaugrana have won all three previous Clasico meetings this season, scoring 12 times in the process.

Real Madrid must win to stand a realistic chance of defending their La Liga crown. Carlo Ancelotti is expected to leave the Spanish side in the summer with outgoing Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso the favourite to succeed him.

Barcelona team news

Robert Lewandowski will hope to start the Clasico contest after returning from the bench during the defeat at Inter Milan in midweek. Alejandro Balde is also back in training, but may only be deemed fit enough for the substitutes’ bench.

Jules Kounde and Marc Bernal are ruled out, while both Marc Casado and Pablo Torre are doubtful due to knee issues. Flick will also decide whether to recall the fit-again Marc-Andre ter Stegen, having stuck with Wojciech Szczesny of late despite the German’s return.
