"Barcelona head into the clash knowing that a draw at Spotify Camp Nou would be enough to officially crown them Spanish champions. After a long and demanding campaign, the Blaugrana now see themselves one strong performance away from completing the job in front of their own supporters."
"There is a growing feeling within the Barcelona squad that the timing of the Clasico heavily favours Hansi Flick and his players. This is because the atmosphere around Real Madrid in recent days has not gone unnoticed within the football circles, especially following reports of tension and dressing room problems at Valdebebas."
"The situations involving Antonio Rudiger, Alvaro Carreras, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Federico Valverde have surprised several members of the Barcelona squad. With Valverde also expected to miss the match, the belief inside the Catalan dressing room is that Madrid are arriving at the worst possible moment mentally."
"Because of that, the intention inside the squad is to attack Real Madrid from the opening whistle and try to finish the title race immediately. There is also confidence that Real Madrid's morale may not be strong enough to cope with the intensity of a Clasico away from home, especially with many already believing the league race is effectively over."
