Today is the main final of the Super Bowl.

Xavi says Mourinho’s toxic presence has done El Clasico a disservice. But it coincided with the pinnacle of form in the teams of Messi and Ronaldo. As a result, a salad of heated aggression and outrageous class has produced many great pairings. Now the comparison does not have the old status.

The Barcelona club divorced with trophies, plunged into debt. “Real” loved his mistress: the Champions League. The boys didn’t play soccer in the school hall on the weekends like they used to. But Xavi has arrived, Ancelotti’s exchanges. It is interesting to compare predicted roots by name. Who’s cooler here?

Goalkeepers

Courtois – Ter Stegen

The German is almost never wrong in La Liga, but his defense played well Champions League. Courtois missed part of the season, sending Lunin to play, for example, in the past El Clasico, but the success of other goalkeepers on world Cup and Real Madrid’s defense problems didn’t prevent Thibaut from being singled out as the best goalkeeper of the entire last year, and not strictly in November and December. Ter Stegen is good, but the Belgian has done more miracles.

Result: Real Madrid win.

Defenders

Carvajal-Kunde

In general, Carvajal is, of course, more important for football. But after all the health problems – cured heart, given his age – Kunde is almost seven years younger, you can’t put Daniel much higher. Moreover, Jules escaped to the World Cup, began to master the role of some new Puyol. Kunde will play against Mendy and Vinicius – the most important duel.

Result: Victory of Barcelona.

Eder-Araujo

Tchuameni and Alaba did not fly to Saudi Arabia due to injuries, and Benzema let it slip that of the trio Vazquez, Militao and Camavinga, only the former had an injury that would certainly interfere with the match. We assume that Eder will be at the base. Although even if you change the Brazilian for Nacho’s replacement, we won’t put the Spanish over Araujo. The Uruguayan is one of the most promising centre-backs in the world.

Result: Victory of Barcelona.

Rudiger-Christensen

Antonio was more prepared lately, now they’ve leveled up. Former Chelsea teammates, defenders with similar backgrounds, both have been laughed at and with similar progress lately. The German has arrived among the big stars, he was chosen by Real Madrid. The Dane has not been cited so well at Chelsea, and has now organically joined the Barcelona base. Shakira’s ex-husband left for unique bread, now the success of Xavi’s defense depends on Andreas.

Result: drawing.

Mendy – Alba

Although the former Barcelona coaches did not like Alba, as Messi was under contract, they left, but the legendary Spaniard remained. Jordi has won everything, and now he is looking for a new club, because Barcelona can no longer afford their usual salary. But you need veteran passes and smart moves. Mendy is Real Madrid’s weakest link, so it’s clear who is the coolest in this duo.

Result: Victory of Barcelona.

Midfielders

Kroos-Busquets

If Tony is tired and Camavinga is fine, then the Frenchman will go out into the support zone. But then you have to move Valverde to the attack. The Spanish “Marca” puts the German at the center, the fans of the “creamy” believe. Two legends collide, but with a difference. Busquets is not as good as Kroos now. Toni has become even more important to Real Madrid’s playing structure following Casemiro’s departure and there is no mistaking his class. Age makes itself felt, but German is a little better prepared.

Result: Real Madrid win.

Valverde-De Jong

The Dutchman is not on Busquets’ right, but Gavi can come out. But when comparing these midfielders, it is important to remind the Barcelona players that Valverde can do it: he is ready to retire, if only to benefit the team. However, De Jong has not worsened either. He could split with Casemiro Manchester United, but rushed to buy a house in Barcelona, ​​so he stayed. Xavi found an approach to him, the Dutchman began to come to life.

Result: drawing.

Modric – Pedri

Baby Pedri, of course, is cool. But if he spends as many constant seasons as Modric, if he manages to win as many and remain in phenomenal form at Luka’s age, then they will say that the advances to the Spaniard were not made in vain. Meanwhile, the legendary Croatian is more important to his team, despite the clear progress of the hardy Pedri. But when things don’t go according to plan, the Spaniard fails to save like Modric.

Result: Real Madrid win.

forward

Rodrigo – Dembelé

Weird footballers. Both can score, both can make mistakes. There is no doubt that they are gifted people. There are doubts that they will ever become stable. Age speaks for the Brazilian: five years younger than the French. For Usman-he worked on himself in one particular season. Dembele can play left or right, depending on the choice between Rafinha and Fati. And if we compare with Rodrigo, we will put an equal sign due to the differences in the game.

Result: drawing.

Benzema-Lewandowski

Sign derby, like before Ronaldo against Messi. Two Ballon d’Or owners have just stolen his well-deserved prize from a Pole. Karim’s injury and the stinging Deschamps stole his chance to become world champion and score the decisive goal in the final against the provocative Martinez. But Benzema is a sin to complain about. And it’s time to please with new goals after the injury, because Lewandowski is on fire and you have to respond to his approaches.

Result: drawing.

Vinicius – Fairy

And if Real Madrid has Benzema on the left, and young Fati has Barcelona, ​​then Vinicius will win the duel. The Brazilian almost moved to the cosmic level: it remains not to sour after the failure at the World Cup. Junior understands Benzema and the Real Madrid midfielders, opens up and hits perfectly. It remains to strengthen the implementation, and Fati, of course, has much more problems.

Result: Real Madrid win.

The result of the comparison. “Real” – “Barcelona” – 8:7

For a draw in the confrontation, each of the two players earned one point, because in reality these are two victories. And one point for every clear victory. It turns out that due to the slippage of Real Madrid – Ancelotti’s team is afraid of strong pressure, and the parallel successful work of Barcelona at least in segments, if not globally, the distance between the teams has decreased. Recall that Ancelotti has three consecutive victories in the derby. Including, in the Super Bowl semifinals a year ago in overtime. Now they share the trophy, with which Barcelona Xavi is not spoiled. If the Catalans win, they will restart El Clasico – with an eye to the ‘golden brace’, because the accidental 0-4 defeat a year ago did not do that, it only pissed off Ancelotti’s team.
