Real Madrid predicted lineup (4-2-3-1):
Lunin (GK); Vázquez, Rüdiger, Nacho, Mendy; Tchouaméni, Modrić; Valverde, Bellingham, Díaz; Joselu
Barcelona predicted lineup (4-3-3):
ter Stegen (GK); Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Cancelo; Pedri, Gundogan, de Jong; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
It sounds like there are some key players dealing with injuries on both sides. With Vinicius Junior, Daniel Carvajal, David Alaba, and Thibaut Courtois out for Real Madrid, and Gavi and Álex Balde sidelined for Barcelona, both teams will need to rely on their remaining talent to step up in this match.
Jude Bellingham's recent form suggests he'll be a crucial player for Real Madrid, especially considering his performance in the last league meeting with Barcelona. Robert Lewandowski, despite his team's recent struggles, remains a formidable threat for Barcelona with his goal-scoring record this season.
It'll be interesting to see how both teams adjust their tactics and lineup to compensate for the absence of these key players. Both sides will likely be looking for alternative strategies to secure a win in this important match.
