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

The technical team of Real Madrid has started preparations for the El Clasico at the City of Madrid Stadium, where Carlo Ancelotti has pinpointed a key strength in the Catalan side.

Real Madrid will face their rivals, Barcelona, tomorrow, Saturday, October 26, at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, during the eleventh week of La Liga. The match will be officiated by referee Sanchez Martinez. Barcelona leads the La Liga table with 27 points, while Real Madrid follows in second with 24 points.

Recent reports indicate that Brazilian player Rafinha Diaz is a significant concern for Real Madrid ahead of the match. According to the Spanish network “Relevo,” the focus isn’t on players like Lamine or Lewandowski, but rather on Rafinha, whose ability to navigate between the lines presents a challenge for Ancelotti and his staff, who are considering various strategies to contain him.

The newspaper reported that despite the presence of top talents like Lamine Yamal and Pedri in Barcelona’s attack, Ancelotti is particularly focused on Rafinha as a potential game-changer in the match at Santiago Bernabeu. It’s well-known that Rafinha, much like Vinicius Junior for Real Madrid, is a key and standout player for Barcelona this season.
