Both these teams have significant flaws coming into this match. Real Madrid have struggled mightily with progression in the absence of Luka Modric, and seeing its attacking moves sputter. Barcelona, meanwhile, have been put to the sword by cataclysmic defensive mistakes.
Barcelona have some key injuries at the back, and that could make all the difference in this match. Ronald Araujo is out until the middle of November with a hip injury and it’ll be a race against time for him to even be fit for Uruguay’s World Cup campaign. Meanwhile, Andreas Christensen has an ankle problem that will keep him out most of October, and Jules Kounde is missing with a hamstring problem. Hector Bellerin has a leg injury that will see him sidelined a few more weeks.
