Join us as we welcome Dom @DKostanjsak and Dev of @BarcaFutbolLive to talk about FC Barcelona this season and preview the biggest fixture in football: El Clasico
Barca faced a tough week, crashing out of the Champions League and potentially facing a trophy-less season. Will their morale affect their performance in the upcoming Clasico? Historically, form tends to go out the window in this fixture. On the other hand, while riding high on euphoria, Real Madrid may be battling fatigue after a grueling game at the Etihad.
The crew analyzes Barcelona’s struggles to control games under Xavi’s leadership and examines their approach over the last two months. We also shine a spotlight on the emerging talents of Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi, while discussing Ronald Araujo’s recent mistakes. Furthermore, we explore how Barcelona may or may not adapt to the absence of Gavi in this crucial fixture.
Tune in for an in-depth look at the tactics, players, and potential outcomes of this epic clash between two of the world’s most iconic football clubs.
