Pique still believes he can face Real Madrid amid Barcelona’s decline

DBasia.news – Barcelona faced El Clasico the first volume of LaLiga 2021-2022 in a chaotic condition. But it did not make Gerard Pique feel inferior in front of Real Madrid.

Barcelona will host Madrid at Camp Nou, Sunday (24/10) at 21.15 WIB. Blaugrana certainly want to achieve full points for his own public.

The victory in the last two matches became the main capital of Barcelona. The confidence of Ronald Koeman’s squad is at least good enough to challenge Madrid.

Although the consistency of Barcelona’s game still has to be proven. Moreover, they can no longer hope for the magic of Lionel Messi to triumph in El Clasico.

Pique is aware that Barcelona’s conditions are not ideal to welcome this crucial match. However, he feels that this fact will not affect the results of the El Clasico.

“In El Clasico, you come on equal position, there are no favourites. Clásico is completely separate from dynamics,” Pique said at his pre-match press conference.

“We had a few moments of crisis, but we are recovering. We both arrived with very similar dynamics.”

Barcelona’s ambition to beat Madrid will not be easily realized. The arch-enemy is also in high confidence after beating Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 away in the Champions League.

At the meeting last season, Madrid was also able to beat Barcelona with a score of 3-1 at Camp Nou. Karim Benzema and his team mates will certainly try to repeat this sweet note.
