The FC Barcelona visits to the Real Madrid, this Sunday 21 April from the 21:00 hours (9:00 PM CEST), with the intention to claim after the 'varapalo' that supposed the elimination of the Champions League, in quarter-finals, in hands of Paris Saint-Germain. The culés had all the 'ballots' to attain the classification, but the expulsion of Ronald Araujo -when had two goals of advantage in the eliminatory- changed the history and finish propiciando the traced back of the group of Luis Enrique.

The true is that, with the League of Champions descartada, the Barça only can 'dream' with LaLiga, although it seems very complicated. It is thus that Xavi Hernández will have to take out his best approach and 'push' to his team to carry the triumph of Santiago Bernabéu. The alignment seems quite clear, but there will be doubts with the centre of the field by the presence or no of Andreas Christensen. To continuation, our forecast of the alignments:

Likely alignments of the Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona of LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023/2024

  • XI of the Real Madrid: Lunin; Carvajal, Rüdiger, Tchouameni, Mendy; Kroos, Camavinga, Valverde, Bellingham; Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo Goes.
  • XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Koundé, Araujo, Cubarsí, Cancel; Of Jong, Gündogan, Pedri; Lamine, Lewandowski and Raphinha.

Ter Stegen

The guardameta of Mönchengladbach comes to fit four goals against Paris Saint-Germain, but in LaLiga great six consecutive parties without conceding. Against the Real Madrid the task will be complicated, especially because players like Vini Jr or Rodrygo Goes are 'enchufados' of face to the rival goal, in addition to footballers like Jude Bellingham or Fede Valverde, that can mark the difference with very little.

Koundé-Araujo-Cubarsí-Cancel

In the defence, everything seems to indicate to that Xavi Hernández will bet by the line that, right now, seems indisputable. Koundé Aims to be in the right side, with Araujo and Cubarsí of couple of head offices. It is unlikely that the charrúa was the one who cover to Vini, after all the headaches in the Supercopa of Spain. I cancel it will repeat like left-handed side.

Gündogan-Of Jong-Pedri

In the centre of the field is where appears the big incógnita for the trainer of Terrassa. And it is that, in normal conditions, would be four midfield players 'natural' against the Real Madrid, but in front of the big level of Raphinha all seems to indicate to that in the medullary will be Frenkie of Jong like the most retarded player, beside Gündogan and Pedri. Andreas Christensen and Fermín would expect from the bench.

Lamine-Lewandowski-Raphinha

The same trident of the last weeks aims to reappear in Santiago Bernabéu, with Lamine Yamal in the right band, Robert Lewandowski like leading centre and Raphinha of false extreme by the left, in the highest zone of the square of the Barça. Ferran Torres and Vitor Roque will be the options from the bench.
