FC Barcelona and Real Madrid arrive confident, Saturday October 28 at the Montjuic Olympic stadium, after their respective victories in the Champions League against Shakhtar (2-1) and Braga (2-1). In the league, only one point separates Real Madrid, second, from their opponent Barcelona, third in the standings. If they are the latest winners of the Clasico (2-1 last March), the Catalans are handicapped by the absences of De Jong and Pedri. Among the Madrilenians, the infirmary will be less full, even if Thibaut Courtois is still missing.
Behind the scenes, hostilities have already begun. Florentino Perez, the president of Real, should not make the trip to Catalonia. The reason: attacks by the FC Barcelona spokesperson against Madrid striker Vinicius Jr. Follow the match with commentary.
