The technical staff of Real Madrid has begun preparing for the El Clasico match at the City of Madrid Stadium, where Carlo Ancelotti has identified a strength in the Catalan team.
Real Madrid is set to host its rival Barcelona tomorrow, Saturday, October 26, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, in the eleventh week of La Liga.
The match will be officiated by referee Sanchez Martinez. Barcelona enters the match at the top of the La Liga table with 27 points, while Real Madrid is in second place with 24 points.
Press reports have revealed that Brazilian star Rafinha Diaz is raising concerns for Real Madrid ahead of the upcoming match.
According to the Spanish network “Relevo,” Real Madrid’s concern is not centered on players like Lamine or Lewandowski, but rather on Rafinha. His ability to move between the lines poses a headache for Ancelotti and his staff, who are considering several options to stop him.
The newspaper noted that despite the presence of world-class players in Barcelona’s attack, such as Lamine Yamal and Pedri, Ancelotti is focusing on Rafinha as a player who could make a difference in the match at the Santiago Bernabeu.
It is no secret that Rafinha, like Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid, is the most important and prominent player in Barcelona this season.
