Barcelona and Real Madrid are expected to be the two front runners in the Race for the La Liga title of 2025-26, although Atletico Madrid could be very well in the mix after a strong summer transfer window. Anyway, much of the focus will be on the El Clasico clubs, with both parties desperately looking for League Glory.
Barcelona dominated El Clasico last season and won all four meetings on three games (4-0 and 4-3 in La Liga, 3-2 in the Copa del Rey and 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup). Real Madrid will be desperate for revenge under the new head coach Xabi Alonso, who will seek help with his new signing sessions – of which there is Alvaro Carreras.
Carreras will have the very important task to destroy Lamine Yamal during El Clasico, and we are well aware of that. On Wednesday, sculptures conquered him that he told a fan exactly how Real Madrid can be successful in El Clasico during the 2025-26 season.
“We have to stop Lamine Yamal!”
Last season Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia could not do much about Lamine Yamal, who achieved three goals and two assists in his four performances for Barcelona against Real Madrid. Carreras, who earlier this week his first performance for Los Blancos over the friendly victory for the season at WSG Tyrol, will hope that he is the man who stops the 18-year sensation.
And Real Madrid will believe that he can, since there are high expectations for the former La Fabrica star after his return to Real Madrid earlier this summer. He is expected to be the regular starter at the left back from now on, although he will be aware that Mendy and Garcia will breathe in his neck. As such, he must consistently perform at a high level.
