Barcelona and Real Madrid have both named their starting lineups for Sunday’s must-see El Clásico at the Camp Nou.
The hosts are hoping to make it a staggering seven wins in their last eight matches against Los Blancos. Hansi Flick’s men will also be desperate to bounce back after a humbling 4–2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain midweek.
Many of the same starters from the Champions League defeat are back in Barcelona ’s XI at the weekend. Flick’s backline remains unchanged, with João Cancelo and Xavi Espart manning either flank while Jules Koundé and Eric García remain sidelined.
Lamine Yamal and Raphinha unsurprisingly lead the attack again, with Anthony Gordon back on the left wing. Fermín Lopez gets the nod at the No. 10 position, replacing the injured Dani Olmo.
Rodri is also back in the XI, partnering Pedri in midfield after only playing a conservative 30 minutes against PSG.
