Real Madrid vs Barcelona: From Karim Benzema to Robert Lewandowski – 5 Players to Watch out for in El Classico – CHECK OUT
#1 – KARIM BENZEMA: Well, how can one not mention Benzema when it comes to El Clasico! The Frenchman has a stellar record in clashes between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona and he will once again have a pivotal role to play if Real is to emerge victorious. Benzema’s season has been marred by injuries so far but he has still managed three goals in five La Liga appearances this season. The El Clasico could very well be decided by how the Barca defense tackles the threat of Benzema.
#2 – ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: Barcelona will heavily depend on their talisman, Lewandowski for goals in this El Clasico. Lewandowski has been in sublime touch for his new club this season, scoring 9 goals in 8 matches so far in La Liga. Lewandowski will also look to benefit from the absence of Antonio Rudiger in the opposition’s defense and the absence of Thibaut Courtois in goal, which could also work to his advantage when it comes to aerial balls and headers.

#3 – VINICIUS JR.: Vinicius has been at his supreme best so far this season. The young Brazilian has scored 7 goals and registered 3 assists in just thirteen appearances so far this season. Vinicius could single-handedly turn the El Clasico on its head and the Barca defenders would be very well aware of that. He is certainly one of the players to watch out for in this El Clasico.

#4 – LUKA MODRIC: The ever-reliable Modric will once again have a key role to play in this El Clasico. The Croatian is the anchor for Real Madrid in the middle of the pitch and the forwards will depend a lot on his through balls and lobs for goals. Modric has been pretty good in terms of the attacking front as well this season and has already made 13 goal contributions so far.
#5 – PEDRI: The mid-field magician will have a lot on his young shoulders in this high-voltage clash. Pedri has been in scintillating form in the Champions League and would aim to replicate the same in La Liga. Barcelona will rely heavily on this youngster when it comes to the creative front and Pedri’s fluent passing game could make a huge difference in this clash!
