Barcelona has started their season impressively, topping La Liga with a flawless five-match winning streak. Under new manager Hansi Flick, the team has showcased some of its best football in years, especially with commanding wins against Real Valladolid and Girona. This success has not only solidified their lead in the league but also made them the highest-scoring team among Europe’s top five leagues.
In contrast, Real Madrid has had a sluggish start, winning only three out of five matches and drawing the other two, leaving them four points behind Barcelona. Their performances have often relied on lucky breaks and contentious refereeing decisions.
Given these contrasting performances, Barcelona analyst Jota Jordi, a regular on El Chiringuito TV, boldly claimed that if El Clasico were to occur tomorrow, Barcelona would easily defeat Real Madrid.
“If the Clasico was tomorrow, we would beat Real Madrid 5-0,” Jordi confidently stated on the show.
This bold assertion may not be as unlikely as it appears, as Barcelona currently seems to have the advantage with their fluid attack and solid defense, making them one of Europe’s toughest teams. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s inconsistency raises doubts about their title defense.
While Barcelona supporters may dream of such a decisive victory, it remains to be seen if Flick’s team can sustain this form throughout the season. After finishing last season without major trophies, they will need to maintain their momentum to reclaim the La Liga title.
The highly anticipated El Clasico is set for the weekend of October 26-27 at the Santiago Bernabeu, following Barcelona’s match against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, adding to the significance of this period for the Catalan club.
Barcelona did win 2-1 against Real Madrid in a pre-season match in the U.S., and fans will hope for a similar result when they meet again in Madrid. The stage is set for an exciting El Clasico, and if Jordi’s prediction holds true, Barcelona could be on the brink of a historic win.
