Sunday game and a derby, i dont know what to expect, because Real Madrid comes with a high mental health and Barcelona with a bad one, but also Real Madrid can be very tired after playing 120 minutes against City and also going into penalty shoots.
I dont know how much you can recover in a few days in such high level.
If they can recover Real Madrid is gonna win and seal the tittle race.
My fear is that Real Madrid wouldn't be able to win the game against Barcelona come Sunday because they will be definitely fatigued and will see most of their first team players all gassed up. It could be a game for Joselu to try something at least Carlo Ancellotti shouldn't drop him on the bench, he should let him have a chance to play.
Both teams played the champions league so I don't think either of them will be at advantage over the other due to fatigue. Think of it this way, Real Madrid won their match and qualified whereas Barcelona lost their match, so Real Madrid is supposed to be more motivated to win their next match, having imbibed a winning mindset and owing to the excitement of winning a big team like Man City. Barcelona on the other hand, will be so demoralized that they might not play in a coordinated fashion like they always do. Therefore, I think Real Madrid will win the match.
In the Real Madrid versus Barcelona match, I am sure that at that time the players on both teams would be fit again. The reason is that from the last match between the two teams in the UCL there was a rest period of around 4 days and in my opinion this amount of time is definitely enough to restore the stamina of the Barcelona or Real Madrid players. Maybe if we talk about the mentality of the Barcelona players who just lost in the UCL, it will definitely be a little difficult for them to get back up. However, the Barcelona players are clearly very professional. So within 4 days, it is very likely that the Barcelona players will have recovered mentally.
And if we talk about odds or predictions for this match (Barcelona VS Real Madrid). If, for example, the condition of the players on both teams is really good, I think the match will end in a draw or win narrowly. This narrow victory applies to Barcelona or Real Madrid. Because in my opinion the strength of the Barcelona and Real Madrid players who can play in this match is almost equal in terms of performance. Even if we talk about the attack line, Real Madrid is indeed better than Barcelona. However, Real Madrid's weakness this time is in the goalkeeper position. The reason is, currently Real Madrid's main goalkeeper, Courtois, is injured and will certainly not play in the match against Barcelona this week. And this will of course slightly reduce Real Madrid's performance in the match against Barcelona this week.
Meanwhile, Barcelona in this match, in my opinion, if you look at the composition of its players, is definitely complete. However, as we know, Barcelona's current performance is often inconsistent. So, if for example in the match against Real Madrid the Barcelona players are again inconsistent (bad), Barcelona will definitely lose. But if, for example, Barcelona players can play well, in my opinion the chances are Barcelona will draw or win by a narrow score over Real Madrid.
