Barcelona vs Real Madrid best XI: Mbappe snubbed as Barcelona dominate El Clasico selection ...Middle East

Ahead of this season's first El Clasico, Spanish football braces itself for another feisty installment of its most storied rivalry as Barcelona host Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou for a blockbuster clash on Sunday night.

Under German tactician Hansi Flick, Barcelona continue to play with high-intensity, a vibrant high line, and attacking verve that puts fear into opposing teams, but occasionally, defensive frailties as a result of the high line are highlighted in their matches. However, scoring more than their opponents has ensured they have picked up maximum points in all nine games played so far in La Liga.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, have navigated early-season squad adjustments with new boss Jose Mourinho. Los Blancos have ground out crucial results in some of the away matches they lost last season, showcasing their terrifying depth across various areas of the pitch. Despite losing twice in nine top-flight games (W7), they remain firmly in the race for the title going into El Clasico.

With these Spanish football powerhouses having squads that boast an excess of world-class stars, this combined starting XI takes into account early-season form, tactical output, and individual brilliance; seven Barcelona players feature, clearly edging out the four from Real Madrid.
