When is the FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid match? Check when El Clasico

Kiedy jest mecz FC Barcelony z Realem Madryt? Sprawdź kiedy El Clasico

Adrian Koźlik |

When is El Clasico? What can we expect from him and can we count on Robert Lewandowski's presence in this prestigious clash? We decided to answer these and other questions in today's article.

However, before we start, we need to settle a key issue once and for all, i.e. the nomenclature of this meeting. We can talk about the clash between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid , like any other match, by mentioning the name of both clubs. Appreciating its uniqueness and the importance of the meetings between these teams, we can use the name intended specifically for this match, i.e. "El Clasico", or simply call it a classic. However, the common name Gran Derbi is a mistake, and it actually refers to a completely different match played in the Spanish LaLiga between Sevilla and Real Betis, which is the Sevilla Derby.

A phenomenon of eternal rivalry

On Saturday, October 28, 2023, just after 4 p.m., the eyes of the whole world will be focused on the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, the main arena of the 1992 Olympic Games. Where FC Barcelona currently plays its home matches. The renovation of Camp Nou forced the Catalans to move to the Olympic stadium, but this will not take away the excitement and temperature of the long-awaited classic.

El Clasico played on Saturday will be the 255th match between the eternal rivals. The historical ranking of direct matches shows a slight advantage of the Royals, who have 102 victories, 52 draws and 100 defeats. These numbers may equalize this season if FC Barcelona wins the league match against Real Madrid on Saturday and is better than them in the spring.

Each match between the Pride of Catalonia and Real Madrid is very popular among football fans around the world. It is the most watched league match in the world, as evidenced by almost 2 million Polish TV viewers last season.

Spanish star factory

The history of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is rich in great stars, or even icons and idols worshiped by crowds of fans around the world, who are replaced over time by new rising stars. Both of these clubs boast great players such as Ronaldo Nazario, Ronaldinho, Maradona, Di Stefano, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Benzema, Luiz Suarez, Stoichkov, Figo, Iniesta, Sergio Ramos, Raul Gonzalez, Zinedine Zidane, Zlatan Ibrahimović and many others.

In the ranks of these clubs we can still find "old" players such as Luka Modrić, Toni Kroos and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who have already played many classics under their belt. el clasico

In addition, there are young, very talented players such as Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Camavinga, Joao Felix, Ferran Torres and Pedri, who are responsible for the future appearance of the Spanish competition.

In the constellation of Catalan stars we can also see the captain of the Polish national team, 35-year-old Robert Lewandowski. The presence of the best Polish footballer in FC Barcelona strongly influences Poles' interest in La Liga games, thanks to which the Spanish classics also enjoy an unprecedented number of recipients in our country.

Will Robert Lewandowski play in El Clasico? Castling and the plague of injuries on both sides of the barricade

The nightmare associated with one of the most important matches of the season is the multitude of injuries that both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are struggling with. From the beginning of the season, the Royals have had to cope without Thibaut Courtois, considered the best goalkeeper in the world, and one of the main defenders, ÉderMilitão. The absence of two key players is definitely the biggest problem that Carlo Ancelotti has to deal with.

Will Robert Lewandowski play at El Clasico?

It is no different in FC Barcelona , ​​where Pedri, Jules Kounde and Sergi Roberto will definitely not play due to injuries. Robert Lewandowski's situation is also not the easiest. The Pole suffered an ankle injury in a Champions League match on October 4 and has been out of the game since then. He has only just returned to training with the team before Saturday's classic, but his performance is still a huge question mark.

Logic tells us that the Pole will not play against Real from the first minute, but as the match progresses, he may be the Joker in Xavi Hernandez's deck, able to turn the tide of this match.
