The legend Leo Messi predicts the result of El Clasico and reveals the player who will decide the match

Anticipation is rising for the upcoming Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, with both teams arriving off Champions League victories and strong performances, although concerns linger for Madrid. Barcelona icon Lionel Messi lauded the team’s commanding win over Bayern Munich and reflected on the unique atmosphere of the Clasico.

In a recent interview, Messi remarked, “I’ve played in many matches, but the Clasico stands out because the entire world is watching. Anything can happen in these games, as both teams have players who can change the outcome at any moment.” He noted, “While the home team usually has a slight advantage, it’s tough to pick a favorite in Clasicos because even minor details can be decisive. Nevertheless, I have confidence in Barcelona’s ability to secure all three points.”

When asked about a potential key player, Messi highlighted Rafinha, who has shown remarkable improvement this season: “He’s grown and developed significantly, and I believe he’s someone to keep an eye on in this Clasico.” With Barcelona in top form and Real Madrid demonstrating resilience against Dortmund, Saturday’s match promises to be one of the most eagerly awaited clashes in recent times.
