BARÇA VS REAL MADRID; MATCH ANALYSIS, POSSIBLE LINE UPS, PREDICTION.

-

  FC Barcelona plays their first El Clásico of the season, coming off a sensational victory over Ferencvárosi TC on Tuesday. Despite Real Madrid facing some rough moments recently, they will not make it easy and it will surely be the most difficult match Barça has played so far.

  Ronald Koeman's press conference clearly gives hints whether or not Antoine Griezmann will start, one thing is for sure though, he hasn't earned it yet. Trincão and Dembélé clearly play that RW role better than him. As Koeman had said, "Experience doesn't earn you games, good performances do"

    BARÇA'S SQUAD LIST FOR THE EL CLÁSICO

  Probably one of the best news ahead of the El Clásico is the return of Jordi Alba into the squad, he completed his second training session and will be available for the match. Marc-Andre ter Stegen is still out due to injury, and Samuel Umtiti still remains on the sideline.

       POSSIBLE LINE UPS FOR THE MATCH
1. Neto; Alba, Lenglet, Piqué, Dest; de Jong, Busquets; Ansu Fati, Coutinho, Messi, Griezmann.
2. Neto; Alba, Lenglet, Piqué, Dest; de Jong, Busquets; Ansu Fati, Coutinho, Messi, Trincão.
  It is important to note that Jordi Alba is just coming back from injury, don't be surprised if he doesn't start. There are some chances that Dest will start at the left side, and Sergi Roberto at the right side. To go against what Ronald Koeman himself had said only means Antoine Griezmann will start. 

PREDICTION: It will be a tense and very difficult match. It shouldn't be a game of favourites and underdogs, it's pretty much equal. If everything goes all right, 2-0 win for Barca.

TIME: October 24, 04:00pm(CET), 03:00pm(GMT+1).

THE STRAINED BARÇA-MESSI RELATIONSHIP

  The BARÇA-MESSI relationship MIGHT never be the same again. The greatest of all time footballer whose career has been predicted by many to end in FC Barcelona, was(maybe is) unhappy at the club following a disastrous season to forget.    Over the course of 3 seasons, the player has had to suffer as a result of very incompetent sporting project led by the Josep Maria Bartomeu administration. It is no news, that there have been lack of peace between the two parties, Messi reached the tipping point and made it known concerning his unhappiness at the club. The war started...   The club(Bartomeu), the league in which Barça plays combined to force the player to stay, the dispute was bound to be resolved in court. However, Messi decided to stay, why? According to him, he couldn't go to court against the club of his life.   Finally, the fans regained joy, because no one wants the greatest of all time's farewell match for the club be a 2-8 thumping defeat.

A COMFORTABLE WIN AHEAD OF THE EL CLASICO.

  A deserved victory with all things considered. Barça were really in need of an uplift in the general atmosphere since their defeat against Getafe and needed a boost ahead of the El Clasico .    Although the team suffered early on, however, as soon as the first goal was tucked home by Lionel Messi, the team gained momentum. There is no doubt that the team looked youthful.   The young players impress the most, and they will definitely help a long way this season under a brave manager like Ronald Koeman. Players like Ansu Fati, who is already having a brilliant season showed why he is the future. Also Pedri who got his first goal in his first champions league match.    Even though injury has been the main issue with Dembélé, he is gradually showing how good he can be. He added pace and created a good assist for Pedri, later scoring his own goal. That shouldn't take credits off Trincão, what a player! He added a lot, gave Messi space to run to, whi

  It's Barcelona's first 2020/21 preseason game today, the first game since Ronald Koeman was assigned as Barcelona's new coach, also the first game since the 2-8 defeat to Bayern Munich.   Although, Nàstic FC , the team Barça will be playing against today is nowhere near a team to beat . However, it's a start to something new, to actually see how we have evolved from the 2-8 thrashing and even from a whole disastrous season.    The experiment number 1 should be an ideal name. It's two weeks away from Barça's first LaLiga game of the season, there is still time to find that perfect set up that might just work.    Some important players like Ansu Fati and Miralem Pjanic are ruled out, the former(Ansu Fati) had suffered a hip contusion injury at yesterday's training session, while the latter(Pjanic) haven't started training yet due to complications of his Covid-19 infection , which he's recovered from.   These two
