El Clasico is always the most special match in world football. This year, Real Madrid enters the match with many concerns about their defense as they continue to lose important pillars.
Personnel Crisis
Losing Courtois and Militao due to long-term injuries has caused Real Madrid many difficulties. Lunin is shouldering a great responsibility in goal, while Rudiger has to play the role of defensive pillar.
Ancelotti's Solutions
The Italian coach is experimenting with different options. Tchouameni can be pushed back to play center-back when needed. Alaba's return will be great news for Los Blancos.
Barcelona's Opportunity
With a strong squad and good form, Barcelona has a great opportunity to exploit Real Madrid's weaknesses. Lewandowski and Yamal will be the players to watch.
