The empty Camp Nou will experience the first classic of the pandemic next Saturday, the first duel without an audience between the two greats of Spanish football. It will be a strange situation, without the passion that dominates these clashes, always marked by the controversy and with the referees as a weapon of justification when it is lost.
The truth is that the two teams arrive at a time in a discreet way. Zidane does not find today in his men the defensive sacrifice that gave him the league title three months ago and Koeman seeks get an eleven of future after the goodbye of Luis Suárez and Rakitic.
Real Madrid will attack the classic after suffering its first league defeat since March 8, against a Cádiz that made history with its triumph against the whites in the capital of Spain. Zidane’s team played a horrible game in the first half and the coach, who made the five changes without being able to straighten the ship, defined the wreck harshly: “They had more desire. Words that said a lot and were a warning to sailors. To finish off, Ramos is doubtful against the classic, because of a blow to a knee that he hopes is nothing.
If he defending champion failed so serious at a delicate moment, when a marathon of seven games in three weeks begins, Barcelona failed in Getafe. Neither Messi, nor Busquets, nor Piqué offer the level of yesteryear.
The two sets are not fine, neither technically nor physically. Irregularity is an analysis that marks the two ocean liners of the Spanish football. They can lose to any rival. They never had so many weak points. Today they are accessible.
