Even though this match will not mean anything and will not prove that they are the strongest in the next season, losing to rivals is something that is highly avoided in order to maintain the prestige that has long existed.
The match starts tomorrow and I think it will be an interesting first El clasico of the new season.
I'm really looking forward to this match, and it doesn't matter if it's a friendly or not, because in terms of history, Barcelona and Madrid are not only enemies on the pitch but off it as well. the fans don't always seem to get along when it comes to the 2 clubs they love. Therefore this fight will be of high quality.
If I want to talk about El Clasico. El Clásico will be great, Barcelona team is full strength now. Also, Real Madrid will focus on La Liga from now on. So the matches between these two teams will be very competitive.
It's still valid to say El Clasico? I don't feel hype because it's only Kroos and Modric are the old generations who still playing until now, while the rest already retired or joined other club. Real Madrid and Barcelona are obviously the biggest clubs in La Liga, but it's only that, there's no more pride to make sure not lose when they meet each other.
I feel next season will be an easy win for Barcelona.
So in the end, Madrid and Barcelona are still rivals and they will always compete. Not sure 100% whether it is certain that Barcelona will have the La Liga trophy next season, because the pre-season is not over yet. Barcelona does have an ideal squad, but even Madrid cannot be underestimated right now, with the reshuffling of players showing positive results this should be considered a big threat to Barcelona. And it's one thing if Madrid quietly closes the transfer market this summer with the arrival of Mbappe, then Barcelona fans will be even hotter.
