Ancelotti reveals the player who worries him the most in Barcelona before El Clasico

Hansi Flick’s team has begun the season impressively, securing 8 wins in their first 9 matches, with the only loss coming against Osasuna.

As Real Madrid gears up to face Barcelona in the upcoming La Liga Clasico on the 26th at the Santiago Bernabeu, the match is expected to have significant implications for the title race.

According to Defensa Central, while much attention is on the strikers, Carlo Ancelotti is particularly concerned about Brazilian winger Rafinha, who is enjoying a standout season with Barcelona.

Rafinha, initially available for transfer last summer, chose to stay at Barcelona to showcase his talent. He has started the season strongly and is playing a crucial role in helping Barcelona maintain their position at the top of the La Liga table.

This might explain why Florentino Perez and Ancelotti hold the Brazilian player in such high regard. The Real Madrid president has frequently remarked to associates about Rafinha’s considerable talent and potential.

As the Clasico approaches, Ancelotti will focus on ensuring the right-back receives adequate support on that flank.

Rafinha is expected to play a versatile role on the wing, which could greatly enhance Barcelona’s attacking depth. The report noted that Ancelotti has openly expressed his concern regarding Rafinha and will develop specific strategies to counter his influence in the upcoming match
