Hola equipo de steemit. A continuación, en este articulo te mostraremos un poco sobre el clásico sus posibles aliniaciones.

We take a look ahead to Sunday's 'El Clásico' encounter between Barcelona and Real Madrid at Camp Nou.

Barcelona: Andres Iniesta has been included in the squad for the hosts, despite missing training on Thursday due to a calf problem. Sergi Roberto returns from suspension as Ernesto Valverde has a full complement to choose from.

Real Madrid: Isco and Raphael Varane have both travelled after shaking off shoulder and calf injuries respectively, with Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane insisting that he won't rest players unnecessarily, despite the Champions League final now being on the horizon. Dani Carvajal remains sidelined with a thigh strain.

Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde:

"A Clásico is a Clásico, and it is a significant game. Fortunately, we are already champions, but it means a lot for the two fan bases, for the competitiveness of the two.

"We want to win, regardless of the standings. And, obviously, they do, too. They will come out trying to break our streak and I hope it's a good match.

"I would like all Clásicos to be this way. It would be more exciting if we were closer in the standings, but for me it’s fine like this.

"I have no doubt that tomorrow we will see the best possible team from both sides.”

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane:

"There's a positive tension within the camp and we come into the game on the back of a good result. We're in fine fettle and are well rested after the Champions League game. We're ready for tomorrow's match.

"It's a game in which there are points at stake. The result won't alter the league standings, but we have to put in a good performance and do everything to try and win it. As for the players who are carrying knocks, our approach will be the same as always.

If any of them have any niggles they won't play and we've got a lot of players who are available to come in for them. Varane and Isco are fit enough to travel tomorrow and we'll see whether there are any changes to the status of any of the players this afternoon".
