Hansi Flick will be without Jules Kounde and Marc Bernal, while Marc Casado or Pablo Torre are doubtful. Alejandro Balde, however, is likely to feature after sitting out the 4-3 loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-final second leg.

Potential Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ter Stegen; Araujo, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde; Pedri, De Jong; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski

Real Madrid 2i372

Carlo Ancelotti, meanwhile, have a depleted backline, with Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, and Eder Militao all out for the season while Ferland Mendy is a major doubt. Eduardo Camavinga, who has occasionally played as a left back, is also out until mid-June.

Potential Lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Tchouameni, Garcia; Modric, Ceballos, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr.

The Blaugrana are coming into the match on the back of a Champions League heartbreak. They were merely minutes away from qualifying for the Champions League final at Inter Milan’s expense. However, sco Acerbi’s injury-time strike made it 3-3 and pushed the second leg into extra time. Nine minutes into extra time, Davide Frattesi scored the winner for Inter Milan, firing the Serie A side into their seventh European Cup/Champions League final with a 4-3 win (7-6 aggregate).

Barca, however, have maintained their strong form in LaLiga, not losing even a single match in 2025. In their previous LaLiga outing, they claimed a 2-1 win away at Real Valladolid. Raphinha (54′) and Fermin Lopez (60′) scored the goals for the Catalans.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are coming into Sunday’s El Clasico a lot fresher, as they did not contend mid-week following their quarter-final exit to Arsenal. In last weekend’s LaLiga meeting with Celta Vigo, Los Blancos survived a late scare to secure a 3-2 win. Kylian Mbappe scored a brace (39′, 48′) and Arda Guler found the back of the net (33′) in the slender victory.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Head-to-Head 3c2z67

The two teams have met 260 times in all competitions, with Real Madrid winning 106 games, Barca 103, and 51 games ending in a draw.

Although Los Merengues have the lead in head-to-head, they have been thoroughly outplayed by Barcelona this season, losing all three Clasicos — first in LaLiga (4-0), then in the Supercopa de Espana final (5-2), and finally in the Copa del Rey final (3-2).

Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Prediction 2s4kh

Barcelona will be severely fatigued after fighting tooth and nail for 120 minutes against Inter Milan, which could allow Real Madrid to strike back. It could really go either way, but we are backing Los Merengues to get the win this time around.

SportsCasting’s prediction: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
