Prediction before the match Barcelona vs Real Madrid
The classic match between Barcelona and Real Madrid takes place tonight at the neutral Estadio de La Cartuja. Barcelona are trying to win the championship for the 32nd time in their history, while Real Madrid are aiming for the championship for the 21st time. Los Blancos are under more pressure after being eliminated early in the Champions League.
Earlier this year, Real Madrid were crushed 2-5 by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. The fear of defeat seems to have caused the club's management to lose their "Royal" image and they caused a stir in Spanish football by asking the Federation to change the referee.
Shortly after the Spanish Football Federation appointed referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea to officiate the match, Real Madrid publicly criticized him. Real Madrid TV posted a video summarizing the referee's bad decisions. They also pointed out that Real Madrid had only won 64% of the matches that the 39-year-old referee had officiated, while Barcelona had a winning percentage of 81% in similar matches.
In addition, Real Madrid also attacked De Burgos by emphasizing that this referee had never officiated in the Champions League and major tournaments of UEFA and FIFA. This made Mr. De Burgos cry at the press conference, creating an unbelievable crisis before the final match.
Real Madrid have skipped training and cancelled their press conference after referee De Burgos spoke out. They also continued to criticize the referee, saying he could not maintain neutrality when he publicly made statements that were damaging to Real Madrid.

The match between Yamal and Mbappe is very remarkable |
In that context, the classic match tomorrow morning is more anticipated than ever. Besides the competition between stars like Yamal and Mbappe, people are also waiting to see whether the referee team will make mistakes or not, and which team will benefit from those mistakes.
Barcelona, under Hansi Flick, are aiming for a treble in his first season in charge. They lead La Liga by four points from Real Madrid, with an 87% chance of winning the title. Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 14 La Liga games, but a 1-0 win over Mallorca (Dani Olmo scored after 40 shots) showed they have sometimes lacked the finishing touch.
Barcelona have a solid defence with the trio of Jules Kounde, Inigo Martínez and Pau Cubarsí, and a creative midfield led by Pedri and Frenkie de Jong. However, the absence of Lewandowski means they are reliant on Ferran Torres and wingers Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. The performances of Yamal and Raphinha will determine Barca's chances of winning.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are facing a trophyless season despite advancing deep into every tournament. They were unexpectedly eliminated by Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and face the risk of a comprehensive defeat by Barcelona in domestic tournaments. This is probably one of the reasons why Real Madrid created a campaign to "attack" the referee before the match even started.
The poor form of Bellingham, Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo has left coach Carlo Ancelotti in a dilemma, as it is difficult for him to get rid of these names. However, if the Italian coach does not make special changes, Los Blancos will most likely be disappointed.
Head to head history, form Barcelona vs Real Madrid
In 37 Copa del Rey meetings, Barcelona have won 16, Real Madrid 13, and drawn 8. Barcelona are also the most successful team in the competition with 31 titles, compared to Real Madrid's 20 (The Analyst).
