Saturday’s pre-season Clasico encounter between Barcelona and Real Madrid has been anything but friendly, with plenty of tough tackles and flashpoints in the opening 45 minutes.
There has been moments of quality, including Oriol Romeu’s effort which crashed off the crossbar and Ousmane Dembele’s opening goal, which came about after a well-worked free-kick routine between Ilkay Gundogan and Pedri.
Alejandro Balde produced another moment of quality towards the end of the first half. He showed excellent determination and strength to stop Rodrygo going through on goal, before weaving between multiple Real Madrid players to drive Barcelona up the park.

Madrid have no tactics and game plan. They just want to injure all our players. Very unprofessional from a supposed professional football club.

Balde is very underrated. One of the best LB in my book. Great foward and phenomenal defensively.
