Barcelona will have the opportunity to strike a knockout at its rival, Real Madrid, and go a long way towards winning the Spanish League title, in the event that it emerges victorious from the “El Clasico” match that brings them together at ten in the evening today at the “Spotify Camp Nou” stadium in the twenty-sixth stage.
Barcelona has not achieved the league title since 2019, led by Ernesto Valverde, and his victory today will make Xavi Hernandez’s men 12 points away from the royal club in the lead.
Winning the title will be a well-deserved reward for Xavi for the effort he made to return the team to its previous position despite the severe financial crisis that prompted the club to abandon its Argentine legend Lionel Messi in favor of Paris Saint-Germain, and exit from the group stage of the Champions League, and then from the qualifying supplement. To the final price of the “Europa League” at the hands of Manchester United, who showed that the path of “Barca”’s return among the greats of the continent is still long.

On the second of this month in the semi-final first leg of the Cup competition.
In contrast to the Super Cup final, which Barcelona completely dominated, Real Madrid was the best party by a large margin in the first leg of the cup semi-finals, but a friendly fire goal by his Brazilian defender Eder Militao brought him down in his stronghold and complicated matters for the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team, who was ecstatic from reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League, by renewing his victory. Beat Liverpool 1-0 in Madrid, after sweeping it away from home 5-2.
Barcelona fans are waiting for the match to see how Xavi’s approach will be, demanding that he perform much better than the cup match, but the problem facing the Catalan club is that he needs the return of the midfield maestro Pedri, and Xavi tends to move the heart of the Uruguayan defense Ronald Araujo to the right-back position in order to limit From the movements of Vinicius.
As for Real, he proved on more than one occasion, led by Ancelotti, that he rises to the level of the event, and the victory over the Catalan rivals in his stronghold is one of the fateful moments for this coach, because he will return his team to the title struggle by reducing the difference to 6 points.
In order to beat the Catalan rivals, Real Madrid must succeed in what only one team achieved among the visitors of the “Spotify Camp Nou” in the league this season, which is to score against the host.
