Barcelona has only one defeat in 2025
The Blaugrana band has the best season of recent years.
Already winners of the Spanish Super Cup, leaders in the championship and qualified in the semifinals of the Champions League, the Catalans are extremely close to the awarding of the second trophy in the current season.
However, Hansi Flick's students have to overcome a single obstacle to achieve this goal, namely Real Madrid, a team that seems extremely vulnerable at this time.
However, a duel against “galactic” is never an easy one, as the German technician on the Barcelona bench also said.
We respect a lot Real Madrid, I am a great team. Regardless of the situation, duels with them are extremely difficult.
This is why we will give everything, because we want to win this title. Our goal is to win all three trophies left in this season (no – King Cup, La Liga and League of Champions)
– said Hansi Flick at the press conference preceding this evening's party
The Catalans restored their morale before the great “El Clasico”. After the 2025 invincibility series was stopped on Signal Iduna Park, 1-3 with Borussia Dortmund in returning the quarterfinals of the Champions League (5-3 in favor of Barcelona to General), the Barographian band won the last two championship duels (4-3 with the Vigo Celta and 1-0 with the local rival ESPANYOL) Spain.
Real Madrid tied two wins after removing from the Champions League
On the other hand, “los blancos” does not go through a great time.
The students of Carlo Ancelotti left the Champions League since the quarterfinals, after a double sleeve (1-5 general), in which the “galactics” were unrecognizable.
In addition, the situation in the championship is not a good one for the Spanish champion. Currently, Real is in second place in the standings, with a deficit of four lengths compared to the leader Barcelona, with five stages until the end of the season.
However, after the failure of the UCL, the Madrilenians seem to have found the victory path. In the last two stages of La Liga, the “Blanco” band has won at the limit in front of Athletic Bilbao and Getafe, 1-0 in both parties, which allowed Ancelotti's band to keep the gap with the Catalans in the title fight.
If he wins today, Real Madrid will conquer the third trophy of this campaign, after imposing in the European Super Cup, respectively at FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
The Catalans, net superior “galactic” in the direct duels this season
The two teams have already met twice in the current season, and each time, Hansi Flick's band has imposed without appeal.
The first “El Clasico” this season took place in the autumn of last year, more precisely on October 26th. Then, Barcelona categorically won Santiago Bernabeu, score 4-0. All goals were scored in the second act and bore Robert Lewandowski (54 ', 56'), Lamine Yamal (78 '), respectively Raphinha (85').
“Los Blancos” had the opportunity to take revenge earlier this year, on January 12, in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, a match played in Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia.
However, the denouement was not favorable this time to Carlo Ancelotti's students. Although they opened the scoring after only five minutes from the start-up whistle, thanks to Kylian Mbappe's success, the “galactics” suffered a new drastic defeat, score 2-5.
Yamal (22 '), Lewandowski (36'), Raphinha (39 ', 48') and Balde (45 '+10') scored the gaps of the Blaugrana band, and Rodrygo set the final score (60 '), this after Barcelona remained in 10 people, Szczesny being eliminated in the 56th minute.
Important absences in both camps
However, unlike the previous two direct meetings this season, the Catalans will not be able to rely on Robert Lewandowski, who were injured in the championship duel with Celta Vigo and will not be able to play tonight.
Also, Hansi Flick will not have either Alejandro Balde and Marc Casado, and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Marc Bernal are on the last hundred meters with physical restoration and are minimal to play, according to the ones from As.
On the other hand, Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to count on the services of Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao and Eduardo Camavaga, while David Alaba is uncertain.
