Difficulties With Ivan Helguera El Clasico Championship Caution For Real Madrid

Ivan Helguera, a former Real Madrid player, has issued a warning to his former team ahead of their El Clasico trip to Barcelona.

This weekend, Carlo Ancelotti’s team travels to Catalonia in what may be a make-or-break situation for their La Liga championship defense.

From the beginning of 2023, Los Blancos have had difficulty maintaining consistency in league play; they now lag Xavi’s opponents by nine points going into the pivotal game.

Real Madrid’s chances of stopping Xavi’s charges would increase if they triumph at Barcelona for a third straight season, but a loss would leave La Blaugrana in position to win the championship for the first time since 2019.

When questioned about the significance of the game for Real Madrid’s season, Helguera said that anything less than a win on the road would put an end to the championship pursuit.

According to sources from Marca, “La Liga finishes if Barcelona wins, it’s pretty easy.

Helguera also said that Pedri’s comeback may be a crucial element for Barcelona, but the Spanish international currently seems to be sidelined due to injury.
