The Clasico between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid is fast approaching. It will be played next Sunday on matchday ten of La Liga at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
This showdown carries huge significance due to the historic rivalry between the two clubs and will have a direct impact on the league standings.
The English star Marcus Rashford highlighted the importance of this clash: “The Clasico? It’s a massive match, and that’s why I came here. I can’t wait for it and I hope we come out on top.”
Rashford continues to impress with his performances. After netting twice against Olympiacos in the Champions League, he’s now Barça’s top scorer in this season’s UCL campaign with four goals.
Meanwhile, German coach Hans Flick emphasized the need to stay focused ahead of the Clasico: “Winning today will give us confidence before facing Real Madrid. We have a huge match ahead, and we need to get our energy back and prepare well.”
He added: “Last season’s Clasico victory is in the past. I’m optimistic about the team’s ability to compete and some players might return before the match.”
