Neither Pedri nor Laymal.. Barcelona star terr.ifies Ancelotti before El Clasico match

Real Madrid’s technical staff has begun preparations for the upcoming El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu, where Carlo Ancelotti has pinpointed a key strength of the Catalan team. The match against Barcelona is scheduled for tomorrow, October 26, as part of the eleventh week of La Liga.

Barcelona currently leads the table with 27 points, while Real Madrid sits in second place with 24 points. The match will be officiated by referee Sanchez Martinez.

Reports indicate that Brazilian forward Rafinha Diaz is a significant concern for Real Madrid ahead of the clash. According to the Spanish outlet “Relevo,” the focus is not on stars like Lamine Yamal or Robert Lewandowski, but rather on Rafinha. His ability to navigate between lines is causing headaches for Ancelotti and his staff, who are exploring various strategies to contain him.

Despite the presence of other world-class players in Barcelona’s lineup, Ancelotti is particularly wary of Rafinha, viewing him as a potential game-changer in the match. Like Vinicius Junior for Real Madrid, Rafinha has emerged as a crucial player for Barcelona this season.
