On Sunday night (10pm on 24 October), La Liga will be on a show with Barcelona taking on Real Madrid at home. Barca without Messi seems to have lost its former glory, and in this battle, facing Real Madrid, the strongest firepower in La Liga with an average of 2.75 goals per game, Barca cannot afford to lose at home.
This match will be the 183rd meeting between Barca and Real Madrid in La Liga, and the first meeting between the two sides in recent years without Messi and Ronaldo, in the previous 182 meetings, Barca and Real Madrid won 72:75, and another 35 were drawn, which is not a big deal overall. However, since last season, Barça has begun to enter a downward spiral, and in the last 4 games, Real Madrid have only achieved a winless record of 1 draw and 3 losses, when Messi was still in the squad, and now Barca without Messi may not have the capital to leverage Real Madrid.
Spain's national derby is the most classic game in the history of football, every football player dreams of standing on this big stage, throughout history, many legendary stars have represented Barca and Real Madrid in the Spanish national derby, including Ronaldo, Figo, and other superstars who have played for two teams, as well as superstars such as Messi and C Ronaldo who have competed with each other for a long time. In addition, the two teams also have the world's top stars such as Carlos, Iniesta and Xavi.
With both teams bringing in a number of stars this summer, Barca's Memphis Depay, Sergi Roberto, Ray Manay and Eric Garcia are all likely to become the new faces of the Spanish national derby, while Real Madrid's Eduardo Carmavinga and David Arabba are also expected to make their debuts in this battle of the century. It is foreseeable that even without Messi and Lonado, the Spanish national derby will not lack star flavor.
Memphis Depay
Since the beginning of the season, the topic around Barca is almost inseparable from Messi, they think that signing Memphis Depay, Sergio Aguero and other fronts can replace Messi, but unfortunately, the 8 rounds of league that have been carried out this season, Barca 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, showing a weak situation of home and away, averaging 2.6 goals per game, second only to Real Madrid, the current league win rate of 50%. After three rounds of the Champions League group stage, only 3 points were scored by Bayern and BenCaffe, which shows that there are still some problems in the defense. At the same time, don't forget that in October last year, Barca was knocked on the door three times by the opponent against Real Madrid at home, and defensive problems will be the biggest obstacle to Barca's victory in this battle.
Messi and Aguero
On the other hand, Real Madrid have long been rid of the impact of Ronaldo's departure, especially this season, when Karim Benzema handed over 9 goals and 7 assists in 8 rounds of the league, the Galaxy Fleet currently dominates La Liga with an average offensive firepower of 2.75 goals per game, and the record ranks second in the table in the case of 1 round of less matches.
Karim Benzema
Although Real Madrid suffered a three-game winless run in all competitions before the international matchday in October, they managed to bounce back in the Champions League, killing the Donetsk miners on a five-goal away goal and boosting morale. In addition to Karim Benzema's continued goal contribution, the youngster Vinicius Junier, who played a second-time success, even overshadowed the French star, this son is the second largest attack point in the Real Madrid squad after Karim Benzema, in the 11 games this season, Vinicius Junior contributed 7 goals and 3 assists, and the attack line led by the two of them will be the biggest cost of Real Madrid's trip to try to win all 3 points.
Vinicius Junière
It should be noted that this summer lost the two main defenders Sergio Ramos and Rafael. After Valani, Real Madrid's defense is also unstable, but the team's victory is strong in offensive firepower, often able to win with attack instead of defense, and this visit to Real Madrid has a larger win.
On the injury side, Barcel will be missing back-up Ronald Alaujo, midfielder Pedri, strikers Yusuf Demir and Martin Bryswirt, while Real Madrid defender Neil Carvajal and striker Garif Barr are unable to travel with the team due to injury.

In terms of data, the draw of Gao Shui started, without Messi's Barca's recognition weakened a lot, for the home champion, he did not let the ball return to Gao Shui, this danger. The winning ability of both teams is good, Barça is not vegetarian, from the bet code change can be seen, some units are flat and half, some low water, medium water, high water, such a drastic change, but also reflects that the units are afraid of mistakes, through more delicate adjustment to maintain the balance between the upper and lower. However, from the current barca home dominance, the attitude of giving gao shui is not optimistic about the rhythm, and the competition side directly gives Barca a handicap. The significance of the data reference after this bet is not very large, according to the initial set, Real Madrid is at least unbeaten.
