Barcelona vs Real Madrid Highlights – Real Madrid wins 2-1

“We won two games in a row and the environment is much better,” said Koeman. “There is no fear from our side. I think we both have a good mix of youth and experience. We are better in ball possession and they are very dangerous counter attacking.

“We have to be aware of their speed when we lose possession and we need to be effective when we have the chance to score. In a game like this, we can’t afford to miss opportunities.”

It is likely that if Alba misses out, Spanish international Srgi Roberto will be moved back to the Left-back position, with Oscar Mingueza occupying the Right-back spot. Eric Garcia is likely to replace the injured Ronald Araujo, while Spain’s youngest ever debutant is expected to start in the middle of the park.

Real Madrid- Carlo Ancelotti also has to deal with his team’s injury problems- Wales captain Gareth Bale will miss out after picking up a knee injury in September, Center-forward Luka Jovic is a doubt after picking up a knock in training last week. Good news for Madrid fans is that Ferland Mendy and Marcelo are training normally with the team after returning mid-week against Shakhtar. Another good news is that without any last-minute setbacks Dani Carvajal and Eden Hazard are both set to return in time for the Barcelona clash.
