Hours before El Clasico, Xavi's secret to stop Vinicius is revealed
Real Madrid and Barcelona will face each other in just under 24 hours.
A few days ago, the exciting semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup were played, in which Real Madrid won an epic match against Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona beat Osasuna without any problems, by a score of 2-0. Now, we are just 24 hours away from the final, between Real Madrid and Barcelona, of course.
One of the main weapons of Carlo Ancelotti's team is precisely Vinicius Jr, the Brazilian is coming back from injury and is not yet at his best level, but he is always a constant threat to rival clubs, and Xavi is aware of this.
For the same reason, the FC Barcelona coach has already designed a plan to reduce the threat of Vinicius Jr, and it is to place Ronald Araujo at right back instead of central defender. This is nothing new, as he has already done it in other "Clasicos", and it has worked out well most of the times.
Xavi reveals Real Madrid's best player:
In the press conference prior to El Clasico, Xavi Hernandez spoke about Real Madrid's squad and revealed who, for him, is the best player in the squad: "Madrid's best player right now is Brahim...He can change the game, he is in a great moment and is very dangerous."
