Xabi declares Real Madrid ready to take revenge for losing to Barca 4 consecutive matches

Xabi Alonso announced that Real Madrid is ready for the Clasico against Barca at 10:15 p.m. on October 26, after a 1-0 victory over Juventus in the Champions League group stage.

Despite struggling, Real Madrid took all 3 points against a tough opponent from Serie A - Juventus, thanks to the only goal of Jude Bellingham. This was also the first goal of the English midfielder this season, after having to rest the first stage due to shoulder surgery.

Along with PSG, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Arsenal, Real Madrid won all 3 matches in the Champions League group stage. In La Liga, they are also leading - 2 points ahead of Barca after 9 rounds.

This Sunday, at 22:15 on October 26, the Bernabeu will witness the first leg of the 2025/26 season's El Clasico, with Real Madrid eager to take revenge on Barca .

That's because the Vultures lost to their arch-rivals in all four matches last season, including two in La Liga, one in the Spanish Super Cup final and the Copa del Rey final.

Xabi Alonso said: “ Real Madrid are top of La Liga and are playing well. Now we focus on the game against Barca. Let's wait and see on Sunday.

We know the importance of El Clasico and we are putting it first. This match has a great meaning and impact. It is a red-marked match in Real Madrid's schedule .

The captain added: “Real Madrid are on the rise, the meeting with Barca will be significant. Real Madrid are ready to play against them .”

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who played very well in the match Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus, is also looking forward to 'revenge' on Barca: " It will be a great match and really important. I hope Real Madrid will win, but of course we respect the opponent ."

While Real Madrid had to spend a lot of effort to gain momentum for the Clasico, Barca had an easy 6-1 victory over Olympiakos. However, the Vultures' opponents will have to wait and see whether Hansi Flick will be cleared of the card to direct Barca at the Bernabeu or not. In case the appeal is unsuccessful, assistant Thiago Alcantara is expected to replace the German captain to take on the role.
