The first El Clasico of the 2019/19 season is upon us with both sides displaying contrasting form at the start of the season. There has been plenty of talk in the build-up to the game about how this game will be different considering two of its greatest headlines grabber- Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will not be part of it for the first time since 2007. Although it may be odd but once the game starts all eyes will be on the men on the pitch rather than those who are not part of it. Julen Lopetegui is hanging on to his job by the skin of his teeth, and another negative result could jeopardise things beyond his control. If you are searching for live telecast and online streaming details of Barcelona vs Real Madrid, EPL 2018-19, match, then you can find the relevant information here. Barcelona vs Real Madrid - Live Football Score, Match 99 - Summary and Highlights.

The problem with Los Blancos so far has been their clear inability to score goals. They have clearly not got over the loss of Ronaldo with both Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema coming well short of the standard expected of them. Marco Asensio has been very inconsistent and will have to put in a real shift on the flanks to stop Barcelona’s runners in addition to his offensive game. Dani Carvajal is out while Isco could be deployed as an anchorman in midfield in a 4-4-2 system. But that will mean either Bale or Asensio would have to settle for the bench. Some tough decisions will have to be made by Lopetegui who faces a battle for survival. Barcelona vs Real Madrid But No Messi vs Ronaldo: Result of Last Five El Clasico Football Games.

Barcelona looked good in the mid-week Champions League game Inter Milan without the services of captain Lionel Messi who is nursing an arm fracture. Rafinha who played in the position vacated by Messi looked good and even got on the score sheet. But Ernesto Valverde may opt for Ousmane Dembele for tonight’s game in order to add width to the team. There fullbacks Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto will be key as they would assume forward roles if Barcelona is on the front foot. The forward line of Luis Suarez and Phillipe Coutinho certainly look more promising than their Madrid counterparts.

Barcelona are favourites to take all three points from the game with Madrid coming into an El Clasico in such poor shape after a very long time. They Los Blancos will need all their luck against the Catalonians who could be menacing with their brand of football. A defeat will also put a dent on Madrid’s league chances and that too in such an early stage of the season.
