Real Madrid will play against Barcelona this Sunday, March 20 at the Santiago Bernabeu in what will be a new edition of El Clasico. Here you can find out the confirmed lineups of both teams for this 2021/2022 La Liga game.
The locals come at a good moment, not only leading La Liga with a good difference over the second (10 points in total), but also coming from eliminating Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, despite losing the first leg game 1-0, and starting losing the second leg game.
Barcelona don't come at a bad time either. Although their start to the season was not the best, little by little they have been improving. The arrival of Xavi as coach plus the incorporation of some players (such as Aubameyang) who gave the team hierarchy, have made the "Culés" a much more competitive team. In addition, they come from advancing to the next round in the Europa League against Galatasaray.

Due to physical problems, the presence of Ferland Mendy is ruled out, and Karim Benzema, who was in doubt until the last moment due to the physical problems he suffered last day against Mallorca, won't be part of team as well.
Real Madrid starting XI: Thibaut Courtois; Dani Carvajal, Éder Militao, David Alaba, Nacho; Luka Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Toni Kroos; Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo.
