Barcelona XI vs Real Madrid: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for El Clasico | OneFootball

Barca come into the game at the Bernabeu on a high after thrashing Bayern Munich

Hansi Flick is expected to stick with the team that thrashed Bayern Munich when Barcelona play Real Madrid in El Clasico tonight.

Barca come into the game at the Bernabeu on a high after a thumping 4-1 win in the Champions League on Wednesday and Flick is set to keep things the same.

Dani Olmo is an option to come in for Fermin Lopez in midfield but he has not played for more than a month so that would be a gamble.

Raphinha is flying after his sensational hat-trick against Bayern and will form a front three with Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski.

Jules Kounde will start at right-back, with Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez the two centre-backs and Alejandro Balde at left-back.

Marc Casado is expected to sit at the base a midfield three in front of Lopez and Pedri.

Gavi is available again after making his return from injury and he will be eyeing more action after substitute appearances against Sevilla and Bayern.

Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ferran Torres, Marc Bernal and Eric Garcia are all out injured.

Predicted Barcelona XI: Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde; Casado, Pedri, Fermin; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha

Injured: Ter Stegen, Bernal, Christensen, Araujo, Garcia, Torres
