While Real Madrid is mired in crisis both on and off the field, Barcelona is taking steady steps towards the La Liga championship in the 2025-2026 season.
After 34 rounds, Barcelona has won 29 matches, drawn one and lost only 4 matches, thereby owning 88 points. Hansi Flick's team is also maintaining a 10-match winning streak in La Liga, most recently a 2-1 victory over Osasuna.
That impressive form helps Barca get very close to the championship and they can completely be crowned right after El Clasico this weekend. As long as they do not lose to Real Madrid, the Camp Nou team will officially win the championship against their arch-rival.
In all competitions, Barcelona has won five of their six most recent encounters with Real Madrid. However, the Royal team still has beautiful memories, notably the 4-0 victory right at Camp Nou in the Copa del Rey semi-finals in 2023.
In contrast to Barcelona's stability, Real Madrid is going through a period of turmoil. The focus of the past week was the scuffle between Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni on the training ground.
The atmosphere in the Real Madrid dressing room is also said to be extremely tense. Many sources in Spain revealed that Kylian Mbappe is having conflicts with some teammates, in the context that the capital team is at risk of ending another season empty-handed.
However, Los Blancos still entered the El Clasico match with great determination to prevent Barcelona from winning early. The 2-0 victory over Espanyol in the most recent round partly helped Real Madrid regain their spirit after a series of turbulent days.
