Real Madrid will have to do without their top scorer for the long-awaited clash this Sunday evening at the Camp Nou. Despite the hope maintained until the end, Kylian Mbappé is officially out and is not in the Madrid group to face FC Barcelona. In goal, the Merengues will be able to count on the saving return of Thibaut Courtois, ready to resume his role as a bulwark against the Catalan assaults.
Beyond the sporting issue, all eyes were on Aurélien Tchouaméni, whose presence was uncertain after his muscular altercation with Federico Valverde. The French midfielder is finally present in the group, unlike the Uruguayan who is missing. It remains to be seen whether this damaged group has what it takes to prevent Barça from winning the title in this anticipated match.
