Barcelona deal with Mbappe

Barcelona is preparing a plan to deal with Kylian Mbappe in the El Clasico match predicted to be the most tense of the season when they visit Real Madrid in round 10 of La Liga on October 26.

Mbappe is in top form ahead of El Clasico.

Facing Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid's attack, coach Hansi Flick and his students "adjusted 4 tactical elements" to patch up the defense that has shown many problems recently.

Young midfielder Pau Cubarsi revealed: "Everyone knows how dangerous Mbappe is. We changed four details in our defense to control him and the entire Real attack. The most important thing is to maintain Barcelona's playing philosophy."

After defeats to PSG and Sevilla, Barcelona were criticised for their undisciplined high-pressing style. This time, Flick was forced to adjust the defence to play deeper, the wings were compressed into the middle, the midfielders dropped deep to support, and the transitions were shortened. The only goal was to deny Mbappe and Vinicius space to accelerate.

On the opposite side, Real Madrid maintained their terrifying attack. Mbappe leads the La Liga scoring list with 10 goals, while Vinicius found inspiration again after a period of decline. The understanding between Mbappe and Arda Guler has gradually become a formidable drill for coach Xabi Alonso.

Flick is likely to be banned from coaching due to his red card against Girona. However, after the 6-1 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League, Cubarsi affirmed: "We believe that if we maintain the form and concentration like in the last match, Barca will be able to overcome all challenges."
