Barcelona began their pre-season with a win over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, while Los Blancos lost 1-0 to AC Milan. This will be the second pre-season match for both teams.
Carlo Ancelotti led Madrid to win La Liga and the Champions League last season. In contrast, Hansi Flick is starting his first season as Barcelona’s manager.
Ancelotti handed Endrick his Madrid debut during the match against AC Milan and the Brazilian had a few good moments. Other than Endrick, the likes of Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, Luka Modric and Dani Ceballos were on the pitch for the better part of the match.
With Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes returning, Madrid’s lineup could see changes. Rodrygo might start, while Vinicius has only had one training session so far. #RealMadridBarcelonaFriendly

Finally, the Real Madrid Barcelona friendly is set to attract global attention. Supporters from around the world will watch closely as these two football giants face off. This pre-season game will offer insights into each team’s form and readiness for the upcoming season.
