As the situation for FC Barcelona, Memphis Depay must rise to the occasion and deliver his best for the team. Barcelona also has some defensive issues but fans hope Gerard Pique has some experience to offer to the youngsters.
For the Blancos, their defensive issues are a big worry after the departures of Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane. Very inconsistent performance from them leads to tension. Real Madrid has a better midfield and attack than FCB. Fans and even neutrals believe Real Madrid has an upper edge. Ronald Koeman needs to execute his plans in a better way or else there is a chance of him getting sacked from FC Barcelona, fans added.

For every El Clasico fan, the star rivalry is going to be the major missing. After the departures of legendary players like Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane and Lionel Messi, and Ronaldo there are almost no star rivalries left. Karim Benzema is a star for Los Blancos, and Busquets for FC Barcelona, there still won’t be any rivalry between them. Youngsters on both sides might not create the hype like before, so that’s a major missing for some fans.
