Lewandowski instead of Messi. Bellingham instead of Ronaldo. The "Clásico" has changed over the years, but over 650 million TV viewers will once again be watching the Spanish LaLiga's top clash live on Sunday (from 20:45 on blue Sport).
"The whole world is watching this clash," says Barcelona legend Carles Puyol, who assesses the Catalans' chances for blue Sport ahead of the top-of-the-table clash. "It's all about getting a positive result. That would change the mood in the team and we could get the maximum out of the remaining games."
A defeat would make it "very, very, very difficult" for Puyol's club of the heart to have a say in the championship. Ahead of the Clásico, the Catalans are eight points behind league leaders Real Madrid.
Real legend Guti: "Playing with Barcelona's nervousness"
On the other side, Real legend Guti is cautiously optimistic: "Real will want to control the game. They will play with Barcelona's nervousness. Barcelona have to win and Real Madrid will do everything they can to prevent that."
However, there is no lack of respect for the big opponents, despite their lead in the table. "Both teams are a benchmark in European and world football. The arrival of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius and some incredible players will bring the "Clásico" back to the top", Guti is certain.
