Riad Will be witness of the second duel between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in the present season. The two groups want to carry the title of the Supercopa of Spain and are big the expectations by the performance of both. It will be an authentic 'war' in which the individualities will be key to generate advantages and in which madridistas and Barcelona could split with an idea 'alike', with four midfield players, but with approaches very different. Thus, in FCBN review in a 1x1 which team, a priori, arrives with a stronger alignment.
Iñaki Crag vs Kepa Arrizabalaga
This Classical will have the peculiarity that any of the two teams will have his goalkeepers titled (Marc-André ter Stegen and Thibaut Courtois). In the side of the Barça, will be Iñaki Crag the one who debut in the Classical. It comes to sign his first goal to zero from December, with important interventions in front of the Osasuna. Kepa remained quite signalled in the derbi against the Athletic of Madrid, with clear errors and fault of authority in his area, by what goes to put to proof his experience and capacity to impose in front of the difficulties, because it plays the possibility to be 'sentenced' defintivamente.
Ronald Araújo vs Dani Carvajal
In the right side of the Barça there will be the novelty of the change of role of Ronald Araújo, already typical in the Classical to brake to Vinicius Jr. The charrúa assumes that it will be long in own field and that the coverages will be constant to avoid that the '7' have spaces, by what will have a very defensive profile and will be few the times that jump to the attack by the band -as it happens with Uruguay when it plays in the same position-. Dani Carvajal Splits with advantage because has a lot of offensive freedom and is used to to take advantage of that Rodrygo throw to the band, in addition to that remains protected in defence. The two have the opportunity to be important, each the one who to his 'rhythm'.
Jules Koundé vs Antonio Rüdiger
The central French is not signing his more brilliant season, by several factors. In the last presentations has split like right side and will be now when it will go back to the axis of the defence. It has demanded him that of a step forward and has been key to move away the danger of the area, but still has not showed his best version. By his part, Rüdiger is being one of the best players of the Real Madrid. It is one 'rock' defensive, a very swift player and that takes advantage of of his physicist to win duels. To this, it is necessary to add him that already this year has marked two goals. Part with a lot of advantage, right now.
Andreas Christensen vs Nacho Fernández
Any of the two is signing his more brilliant season and are many the errors that are committing. They are not indisputable headlines, in any case, and are playing by the drops that there is. In any case, the Danish comes of a very complete performance in front of the Osasuna and can be a factor that play in favour, whereas Nacho, by experience and experience, although in these last parties has characterised for losing an important number of duels and not being attentive to the marks in the played to unemployed balloon.
Alejandro Balde vs Ferland Mendy
It is another duel in which the two footballers have not been fine in this season and in a lot of moments have generated doubts. Alejandro Balde is a stair by on because it has been more regular and has fulfilled, although it has not fulfilled with the expectations in the offensive section. In spite of his speed and capacity to escape of rivals, taking advantage of spaces, has not been able to impose with goals and assistances. Mendy, although it has been constant victim of injuries, keeps like the left side headline of the Madrid and comes to mark a goal. In defence gives a lot of guarantees when it is fine.
Frenkie Of Jong vs Aurelién Tchouameni
In paper, Frenkie of Jong will be the one who split in the base of the Barça in the Classical and is very likely that cuele between the two rivals, but will depend of the system by which bet Xavi, that still is a doubt. Has as 'rival' with the same role to an Aurelién Tchouameni that still has not recovered his best version, after returning of an injury in December, but that it is a safe of life for the Madrid. Of Jong has the advantage that it serves like director of orchestra of his team, something that still has not achieved the French. Both will be decisive in this party.
Sergi Roberto vs Toni Kroos
In case that, finally, Xavi bet by four midfield players, Sergi Roberto has all the ballots to be headline. The captain is in a good moment and has showed to be key for the game of his, in addition to also contribute goals and assistances, but is complicated that some player can compete nowadays with Toni Kroos that is living his second youth and that every night marks the times and rhythms of the party. It is the midfield player 'total' and to the one who the Barça has to neutralise, as it happened in the first duel of the season.
Ílkay Gündogan vs Fede Valverde
Will have roles and papers very different, because they are players extremely different, but will coincide in that they will give 'life' to his teams. Gündogan From the clairvoyance playing between lines and causing the growth of the culés and Valverde from his infinite capacity to visit all the field and direct, of some way, to the Madrid. They are two players that are being key in this season and that they will be decisive in a duel of this magnitude. With the two, the quality is guaranteeed. And the sense of the game, also.
Pedri González vs Jude Bellingham
As in the previous case, will have different papers, but are definitely the most creative players of his respective teams and those who can mark the difference in a second, with a pass or an overtaking of line. In spite of that they are very young, both, have showed to be key footballers and colarse in the list of better means in the world. Pedri Splits with the disadvantage that it is his second party after the injury, whereas Bellingham faces his first final being the absolute leader of the Madrid, although it carries several parties without wetting. Thei nglés, by conditions, regularity and what has showed has advantage.
Ferran Torres vs Vinicius Jr
In the forward of the Barça keeps the doubt of who will be the companion of Lewandowski, but in the last weeks Xavi has showed to trust more in Ferran Torres. It is a footballer that constantly is contributing to the game of the team and that it can be lethal, although with an entirely distinct profile to the of a Vinicius Jr that, with spaces, is synonymous of 'explosion'. Everything will depend on if the culés are able to neutralise to the Brazilian.
Robert Lewandowski vs Rodrygo Goes
The Pole aims to be the big offensive leader of the Barça. Sum two consecutive parties seeing goal, but if by something has characterised is by the irregularity in this season. It is not 'appearing' as much as expects , but always can 'resolve' a party. Rodrygo, by his part, is in plenary been of 'ebullición' and is one of the keys of this Madrid by his capacity to appear, participate, dinamizar, desbordar and comport like the extreme more '9'. It has not marked this year, but the goals no have resisted him in this season.
