The rematch of El Clásico is just around the bend.

In ten days, on October 28 at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, Barcelona and Real Madrid will compete in the first El Clasico of the 2023–24 season. Ronald Araujo and Vinicius Jr. will go up against each other for the second time.

In recent encounters between the two teams, such as the final of the Spanish Super Cup from the year before and one game each in the Copa del Rey and La Liga, Xavi has resorted to playing Araujo at right back to nullify the threat posed by Vinicius. This strategy was used in the previous season’s Spanish Super Cup final.

At the moment, Joao Cancelo is without a doubt the first choice to play right back, so it will be interesting to watch if Xavi decides to switch things up for the next game.
