World Sports vs. Real Madrid lineup: World-class goalkeepers PK three goals, Mbappe has never led his team to defeat Barcelona

3:49pm, 24 October 2025Football

October 24th: The Spanish media "World Sports News" wrote an article analyzing the upcoming national derby, giving predictions about the starting lineup and comparing the lineups of both sides.

This Sunday there will be an open national derby at the Bernabeu. Both sides have luxurious lineups, and the expected starting lineup has begun to take shape:

Goalkeeper comparison: Courtois/Szczesny

Real Madrid has a world-class save master, while Barcelona uses a third goalkeeper. Although the Polish goalkeeper did not perform badly, he conceded goals in every game. In the 0-4 campaign last season, Peña was once the hero of the Nou Camp.

Right-sided duel: Valverde/Conde

Neither of them is a full-back, but the Frenchman has become more accustomed to the role. Valverde is called a panacea, while the other "short circuits" twice every game.

Central defender competition: Militao/Eric Garcia

are the two teams' most popular defensive pillars, and both can make the final decision in corner kick attacks.

Left gate competition: Carreras/Balde

Strong offense and weak defense are common traits. Carreras will face the impact of Yamal, and Balde is expected to get more freedom in the wing corridor.

The cornerstone of the defensive midfielder: Joan Armene/De Jong

Almost never makes mistakes, but rarely decides the situation of the battle on his own.

Core midfielder: Guler/Pedri

The two teams' currently best players have excellent passing opportunities and route selection abilities. They are the beacon that illuminates the team's progress and are also the key to victory or defeat.

Attack midfielder: Bellingham/Fermin

The English were slightly sluggish at the beginning of the season, while Fermin set off an offensive storm. Both have a goal-scoring instinct, but they differ in terms of commitment and sacrifice.

Front Trident

Rodrigo/Yamal: Yamal, one of the best in the world, is slightly stiff due to a pubic bone injury, but he is always eager to be crowned at the Bernabeu. Rodrigo's role has dropped sharply this season and he is waiting for the night to clear his name.

-Mbappe/Ferran: Real Madrid’s top scorer has never defeated Barcelona with the team, but Ferran has already figured out Courtois’ destiny.

-Vinicius/Rashford: The former combines breakthroughs, shots, words and provocations, while the latter can only continue to fight until Rafinha comes on as a substitute.
