Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Flick’s plan to stop Mbappé takes shape

On the eve of Sunday’s Clasico, scheduled for October 25 at 9 p.m., Hansi Flick is preparing Barcelona to face Real Madrid’s attack, with particular attention to Kylian Mbappé. After losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Barça must respond and protect its place at the top of La Liga, having won its first nine matches. A Real Madrid victory would bring it within three points of its rival. Flick is relying on collective discipline, positioning and pressing, and praised the performances of Pau Cubarsí and Gerard.
