El Clasico, the annual soccer match between Barcelona and their fiercest rivals, Real Madrid, will take place later today at the Montjuic Stadium, and it promises to be the Catalan club’s toughest test of the season thus far.

A win for the Blaugrana today would put them in position to finish Matchday 11 in first place, as they are currently behind the leaders of the league by only one point.

The situation for Xavi Hernandez and the rest of his team will not improve after the Clasico since they have another difficult test waiting for them in the form of an away game against Real Sociedad, which is coming up next.

Gavi faces the possibility of being suspended.

Even though everyone’s attention will be focused on today’s El Clasico match, Barcelona needs to keep an eye on what’s coming up next, especially in light of the fact that they have had a number of players miss games due to injuries.

since a result of this, Gavi will need to exercise a modicum of extra caution in order to avoid getting suspended for the encounter against Real Sociedad, since he is one yellow card away from doing so.

In point of fact, the 19-year-old phenomenon in the middle of the field, who is already participating in his ninth El Clasico, has received four yellow cards in La Liga action so far this season.

And if the graduate of La Masia receives another yellow card during this afternoon’s play against Real Madrid, he will be forced to sit out tomorrow’s game versus Sociedad, which will be a setback for Barcelona.

Gavi has gained a reputation for his enthusiasm and aggressive approach on the pitch, but it also gets him in questionable situations at times in reference to his disciplinary record. Working on disciplinary concerns Gavi has earned a reputation for his passion and combative manner on the play.

After receiving a red card in the Catalans’ previous match in the UEFA Champions League against Porto, the 19-year-old was already barred from playing in their most recent match against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Gavi has acknowledged that this is an area of his game that needs to be improved, and given that Xavi and the rest of the Barcelona squad will be traveling to San Sebastian the following week, they will want the young midfielder to be available for the match.
