The first leg of the 2025/26 La Liga season will take place this weekend. A competition that is always heated both on and off the field and is worth more than just 3 points.

If they beat their arch-rivals, Barca (22 points) will take the top spot in La Liga after 10 games. If the result is reversed, or a draw, Real Madrid (24 points) will continue to be at the top of the table.

According to MB, Hansi Flick understands the meaning of an El Clasico very well, having analyzed every detail of the match for many days. He is said to have made many changes in recent training sessions.

And if the defense is still wondering who will partner Pau Cubarsi, Ronald Araujo or Eric Garcia, then in attack it seems he has chosen a trio to fight Real Madrid.

In normal situations, the trio of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski is the default, there is nothing to argue about. However, due to the Polish striker's injury, Raphinha is still uncomfortable, not at 100% form, Hansi Flick was forced to make a bold choice.

And against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu this time, everything shows that Barca's starting striker trio will be Lamine Yamal, Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres.

Hansi Flick knows that in a big game like this, speed, directness and efficiency are the decisive factors. That is why he chose a combination of youth, experience and scoring ability.

MB added that Ferran Torres, who is in very good physical condition, has convinced the German coach in recent training sessions. He especially appreciates this player's work speed and ability to occupy space. Moreover, Torres understands the movements of his teammates and can come up with solutions depending on the situation on the field.

With Rashford as the key attacking spearhead and Lamine Yamal breaking through on the right, Barca will look to attack Real Madrid's spaces with speed. Flick's idea is to ask his players to use every gap to launch sharp counter-attacks.

Last season, Hansi Flick's Barca won all 4 matches against Real Madrid (2 in La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup final and the Copa del Rey final). But this season is different, the Vultures with Xabi Alonso are in very good form, while Barca cannot maintain the same pace as last year, as Flick himself admitted.
