Our prediction for the match Barcelona vs Real Madrid
The giants showed themselves in different ways last season. The Catalans disappointed, not taking a single trophy and finishing with a considerable gap from the eternal rival from the capital. Ancelotti, in addition to the early and confident victory in the Primera, had previously won the Spanish Super Cup, and the very end of the football year brought, for the umpteenth time, won the Champions League success.
Now Carlo, according to rumours, is preparing for his last match in his position. The last straw was the defeat in the Champions League made by Arsenal – a 0-3 failure in London and a 1-2 misfire on the native field. There had been other failures, from a 2-5 one in the Super Cup to losing the lead in the Primera. Athletic almost took points away this week, but the team managed to score. Speaking about Catalonia, everything is fine – the decision to replace Xavi with Flick is justified a hundredfold. The aforementioned victory in the Super Cup was followed by the lead in the Primera standings. And the club stays there, although Celta, as well as Mallorca and Leganes, provided a lot of trouble in the previous rounds. At the same time, Yamal and the company reached the semi-finals in the Champions League, having knocked out Borussia. It lost with a 1-3 result in Dortmund, but the Germans were crushed in the first meeting – 4-0.
As for the cup competition, Flick’s wards initially did not notice their opponents, scoring 4-5 goals not only in the game against Barbastro, but also in the meetings with Betis and Valencia. Atletico also scored 4 times at the home arena, but the match resulted only in a 4-4 draw. Fortunately, Ferran Torres scored the only goal in the return match in Madrid. Mbappé and the company easily beat only Deportivo Minera and Celta – they scored 5 goals in each match. Speaking about the struggle with Leganes, the result was 3-2 (with a goal scored by Gonzalo Garcia in the 93rd minute). As for the meeting with Real Sociedad, it even went to extra time at the home arena after a 1-0 result in San Sebastian. It is remarkable that the battle ended in a 4-4 draw!
