"Lamine is always motivated, and if I remember right, we won all three games against Benfica [in the Champions League last season]."
""He's the most important part of the team and so it's a disadvantage of course," Sorg said. "But it's the same with the players, we have to deal with it. Everybody knows what he expects from us and I think we will do it. "We have to do things right, apply pressure with and without the ball, push up the pitch if necessary... but we won't change our way of doing things; it wouldn't help us. "In these games, everything is 50-50. Whoever performs best on the field will win."
Lamine Yamal drew negative attention by claiming in a social media stream that Real Madrid "steal" and "complain." Barcelona view the criticism as additional motivation for Yamal ahead of El Clásico. Hansi Flick will be suspended and unavailable for the match, creating a coaching absence the team must manage. The team plans to maintain its usual style: apply pressure with and without the ball, push up the pitch when necessary, and avoid changing core tactics. Raphinha is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while attacking options include Yamal, Marcus Rashford, Ferran Torres, and Fermin López. A potential matchup with Álvaro Carreras is noted.
