The day has arrived! The Spanish Clasico is in Texan territory. Real Madrid and Barcelona will face off at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, and around 80,000 fans are expected to attend. It will be a friendly game as part of the European club tour in the United States. However, it will be a game where pride is at stake.
Real Madrid, coached by Carlo Ancelotti, is aiming for its first victory against its eternal rival on U.S. soil. In the previous meetings, in 2017 in Miami and last year in Las Vegas, Barcelona won with scores of 3-2 and 1-0, respectively.
During this preseason phase, the Merengue team has left good impressions, winning its first two matches and debuting luxury reinforcements, especially the talented English player, Jude Bellingham and the Spaniard Brahim Diaz, who have exceeded everyone's expectations. The players have shown good form, with outstanding performances, which could continue to be reflected in today's game.
Barcelona's preseason began with a defeat against Arsenal, after they were unable to play their game against Juventus last Saturday due to a viral gastroenteritis that affected a large part of the squad.
What is clear is that both clubs are in good attacking form, with Los Merengues scoring five goals in two games and Los Blaugranas with three against the Gunners.
Barça is Real Madrid's penultimate opponent on its tour of the United States before facing Juventus on August 2 and then looking ahead to the La Liga opener against Athletic Club on the 12th of the same month.
