The first El Clasico of the season is all set to happen, and the eagerly awaited match between Spanish giants, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, is scheduled to be held on October 26 at the Santiago Bernabéu. Meanwhile, the Los Blancos players are hungry for revenge as they were beaten by the rivals with a score of 4-3 in May.
Real Madrid player has sent clear warning to Barcelona ahead of El Clasico
Meanwhile, Rodrygo, the Real Madrid winger has stated that they are fully motivated to win this time and there is no second thought. In a lengthy interview with AS, the Brazilian star believes that there will be no chance for the visitors this time. He said:
"We have to beat Barça in the Clasico, no matter how. "
The Brazilian international, while reflecting on his side’s last performance against the rivals, further stated:
“Last year, it was horrible for us against Barça, and this time we're playing at home, at the Bernabéu. We have to show who Real Madrid is."
Rodrgyo had also revealed recently, with AS, that he almost joined the rival club until his father told him about the Real Madrid call, which changed his mind. The 24-year-old, during the aforementioned interview, stated that the first thing one thinks about after arriving at Real Madrid is to win the Champions League and to score “against Barcelona.”
The Whites’ winger, who joined the club in 2019, said:
“That's always on my mind, and before every Clasico I picture it: scoring a goal against them."
Rodrygo has played a pivotal role in the squad ever since the player joined the Spanish side. It is to be seen how he helps the 15-time UCL champions against the arch-rivals when they face each other at the first El Clasico of the season.
