Following Lamine Yamal's story at EURO 2024, center-back Pau Cubarsi is now sharing his experience of balancing school with professional football at FC Barcelona.
Tonight (22:15 PM), we should think of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as missing the chance to play in El Clasico, not that this match has cost them their place.
Coach Ernesto Valverde holds Real Madrid in absolute respect and caution, even though the Spanish giants are currently mired in a comprehensive crisis.
The El Clásico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid is still highly anticipated despite the absence of their two biggest stars, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Lionel Messi will be sidelined for approximately three weeks and will certainly not recover in time to participate in the first El Clasico of the season.
Coach Zinedine Zidane announced that Real Madrid would not be performing the custom of forming a guard of honor to welcome Barcelona, a rare and cherished tradition between the two fierce rivals that has now disappeared.
The guard of honor is not a mandatory procedure, but Real Madrid needs to perform a noble gesture if they want to earn the respect of the football world.
