Incendiary weekend in the most important European championship – El Clasico, headliner

Real Madrid v FC Barcelona, ​​Sunday, 5:15 p.m

The Belgian suffered an attack of sciatica and will not be able to be ready for the match against the great rival FC Barcelona.

Instead, Ancelotti will have defender Rudiger at his disposal, who suffered a serious injury in the match against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

The German defender has had stitches but Ancelotti says Antonio is ready for the big showdown with Barcelona.

He practiced normally on Saturday with a protective mask on his face.

As for Courtois, Ukrainian Lunin will replace him in Real Madrid’s goal. This is already the fifth match in a row in which the Belgian goalkeeper is absent from the Whites’ goal.

The match “Real” – “Barcelona” will take place on Sunday at 17:15 at the “Santiago Bernabeu”. The match can be watched live on Digisport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.

After eight rounds of La Liga, the first two positions are occupied by “Barcelona” and “Real”, both with 22 points (the Catalans are in the lead due to the better goal difference).
