Barcelona vs Real Madrid Team news :
Although Pedri (hamstring), Ousmane Dembele (hamstring), Frenkie de Jong (hamstring), and Andreas Christensen (calf) were all absent from Barcelona’s victory over Elche, there were no new injury concerns to consider.
Raphinha is back from a ban served in the top flight, but it is hardly certain that he will replace Torres or Fati because none of the quartet was seen in training on Sunday. As a result, Xavi will likely have to deal without each member for the second leg.
The latter’s significant performance over the weekend followed an explosive rant from his father, who lashed out at the attacker’s lack of game time this season amid speculation of a summer transfer, but he has probably played his way into a start in the El Clasico.
As for Real Madrid, Ancelotti is worried about Antonio Rudiger’s fitness after the German center-back injured his knee and missed the win over Valladolid. He will have scans on Monday, but Ancelotti doesn’t think the defender has anything serious going on.
In any case, Rudiger’s condition will be closely monitored for the next 48 hours, while Ferland Mendy is certain to miss out due to a new calf issue and Mariano Diaz has emerged as a question mark with an unspecified complaint but was never going to start here.
