Real Madrid will face FC Barcelona in the first Clásico of the season, with both teams seeking to maintain their momentum after thrilling UEFA Champions League victories. Carlo Ancelotti's side will be without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and forward Rodrygo Goes due to injuries, while midfielder Luka Modrić is expected to drop out of the starting lineup. Despite these absences, Real Madrid will look to secure a fourth consecutive Clásico victory, having defeated Barcelona in all three competitive fixtures last season.
