Barcelona and Real Madrid look set to compete over the La Liga title once again this season, as they occupy the top two positions in the table. That has been the norm in Spanish football for almost two decades now, except for the two times that Atletico Madrid have been able to script underdog stories and become champions of Spain.
At the moment, just a point separates the two teams. Despite all the criticism that Real Madrid received following their loss to Atletico Madrid, they are still the top team in the La Liga table. Barcelona are second.
“If everything goes well, I will be at my best in the Clasico.”
Pedri has been out injured since August and is believed to be in the final stretch of his recovery now. It looks like the Spaniard is optimistic about not only his chances of making the first El Clasico of the season but also aiming to be at his best for the game.
Of course, Real Madrid are without a number of key players through injury as well. They have continued to get wins though, which is the most important thing.
That being said, they did struggle against a top team in Atletico. And their recent record against Barcelona is bad.
