Mexico City /
The game that paralyzes the world at club level already has the 22 confirmed holders. Real Madrid and Barcelona for El Clásico presents news, tactical changes of the unemployed and some unexpected dismissals, especially by the Blaugranas, forced by injuries and paternity leave.
Real Madrid, without regular central
As it has been known for days, Sergio Ramos and Raphaël Varane will not play against Barcelona for a lesion and coronavirus infection, respectively. Their back seats are for Eder Militao and Nacho Fernández, who played together in the triumph against Liverpool 3-1, a game about which there is only one change in the original lineup: Marco Asensio was given a chance to change things around Fede Valverde and a 4-4-2 formation.
Barcelona did not recover Hammered
Although it was reported in Spain on the same Saturday that he will play undercover, Gerard Piqué remains substitute in El Clásico and the Blaugranas go with what seems to be line five with Lenglet, Araujo and Mingueza from power plants. Griezmann will not be in front – who has received a leave of absence due to his recent paternity – and the two attacking positions are occupied by Dembélé and the inevitable Lionel Andrés Messi.
