Life under Xabi Alonso for Real Madrid has been almost impeccable, winning 11 of their 12 games this season with their only defeat coming against city rivals Atletico Madrid. However, even though Real Madrid have performed like a well-oiled machine this season, Xabi Alonso now faces his toughest test, his first El Clasico.
Real Madrid haven’t won the Clasico in the last 4 meetings with Barcelona, suffering some pretty heavy defeats along the way. Due to Real Madrid’s magnitude, despite their immense form in the League and Champions League, the team’s location and manager’s judgment will all depend on their performance in the Clasico, making it imperative for Xabi Alonso to get a result on Sunday.
Hansi Flick’s reign as Barcelona head coach has helped Barca fans recognize their club again, winning matches handsomely and winning major titles by playing beautiful football is in the club’s DNA. Flick has never lost the Clasico as Barcelona head coach, winning all four he has been in charge of and although he will be serving a touchline ban, he will have no intention of letting that record slip away.
Barcelona’s season so far has been good, if shaky. The Catalan side scored as many as last season, but their unique high-line play has been exposed on several occasions this season, most recently against Sevilla where they were beaten 4-1. Due to this problem in their systematic play, Barca sit second in La Liga, with 22 points, making a victory against their rivals imperative if they want to retain their league title.
Here’s how to take part in the Clasico from anywhere in the world.
