Barcelona’s current situation revolves around the classic match that will be held on October 28. After starting the season with many green shoots, Xavi Hernandez’s team faces the first big test of the season, which will serve to draw the first results, especially to know the reaction of the team and the new signings against the top. – Class competitor. However, the Blaugrana team will have to face the match with many casualties.
Barcelona conditions…
With just over 24 hours before the start of the match, Pedri and Kounde appear to be practically ruled out, while Rafinha, Lewandowski and Frenkie de Jong, who have also missed Barcelona’s recent matches due to injury, may feature again and have some minutes to spare. The five players currently injured in Barcelona’s ranks form the cornerstone of Xavi Hernandez’s plan, as their absence completely spoils the intentions of coach Ejarín.
We have seen in Barcelona’s recent matches in the league and Champions League, where they lacked a lot of quality in the last few metres. In fact, what the team missed most was the reference to the classic number “9”. The attacking midfield demarcation is the only one that Xavi Hernandez does not have in his team. While in others there are alternatives to the envelopes, Lewandowski is the only one who can operate in the attacking shaft.
Both Xavi Hernandez and Robert Lewandowski know this, and they will do their best to make the Pole available against Real Madrid. At the moment, the latest information that has emerged indicates that the former Bayern Munich footballer could be included in the call-up and that he will do everything in his power to get weight minutes in El Clásico. However, there are many doubts that the Blaugrana ‘9’ will arrive in time to make a difference.
But what is clear is that Lewandowski will do everything in his power until the last minute to be in El Clásico. The latest information even suggests that he may be sneaking out to get to a better state. In Barcelona, at least seeing the tone of the previous seasons, they are not very prone to player penetration, as it can have long-term consequences, but with the Polish striker it will change things.
