VIDEO: Barcelona mock Real Madrid, stage training-ground scrap | OneFootball

El Clásico between Barcelona and Real Madrid is getting closer and closer, and the realities each club is facing are completely opposite. Barça is just one step away from being crowned La Liga champion this Sunday at 4 p.m. at Camp Nou, while Los Blancos are going through a moment of chaos amid a dressing-room split. With two days to go before the ball starts rolling, the newspaper Marca published a video of Robert Lewandowski and Wojciech Szczęsny “fighting” in training. Another jab at their eternal rival?

At Barça, there is an atmosphere of calm and confidence in the face of the challenges ahead. This weekend, Hansi Flick’s team could celebrate the title right under the nose of their eternal rival. With just a draw, they will be crowned champions for the second consecutive time.

Taking advantage of this moment, Barcelona’s players allowed themselves some joking around during one of the training sessions before the match. The Poles Lewandowski and Szczęsny were filmed throwing punches at each other right on the training ground, which can be seen as a cheeky mockery of their rival’s situation since, according to reports out of the Spanish capital, Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni got into a fight in the dressing room, causing the Uruguayan to be hospitalized with a cut to the head and miss El Clásico.

These images quickly went viral and highlighted the two opposing contexts: in Catalonia, there is an air of prosperity, while in Madrid, the atmosphere feels tense and another controversial episode seems to emerge every hour.
