Barcelona’s excellent results in 2025 have given them full confidence heading into tonight’s crucial match. Under Hansi Flick, the team has suffered only one defeat in their last 27 matches—against Borussia Dortmund—which had little impact on their successful campaign.

Barcelona has faced Real Madrid twice this season, winning both matches decisively: a 4-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu and a 5-2 triumph in the Spanish Super Cup. Of the nine goals Barcelona scored in these two matches, eight came from their attacking trio, though the absence of the injured Robert Lewandowski will be felt.

However, Barcelona continues to rely on the duo of Yamal and Raphinha. Raphinha scored three goals from seven shots in these two matches, with a success rate of over 42%. He also provided an assist in the La Liga encounter. On the other hand, Lamine Yamal converted two of his seven attempts, with a 28% success rate, delivering an outstanding performance against Madrid.

Alongside these two stars, Flick is also counting on the excellent form of Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo, who have frequently appeared as scorers in Barcelona’s recent matches.
