Barcelona vs Real Madrid prediction 10.05.2026 | La Liga

Barcelona's excellent season was somewhat ruined by Atlético Madrid, which eliminated them from the Copa del Rey and the Champions League Quarter-Finals. Besides that, the Catalan team have been amazing, especially in the last part of the season. The fact that Barcelona won the title last season with 88 points, and that they already have 88 points at the moment with four rounds left, shows just how good the Catalan team has been this year.

In the previous days, there have been speculations that Raphinha will leave the club soon. However, the 29-year-old Brazilian denied such talk and said he will stay. Raphinha also just recovered from his thigh injury and was on the bench in the previous game against Osasuna. He will most likely play limited minutes against RM. Additionally, Andreas Christensen and Lamine Yamal should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Real Madrid will finish their second season without a single big trophy, which is unacceptable. While Los Blancos were solid throughout the season, they completely crumbled in April. During that time, they won only once in six matches, dropped many points in La Liga, and were eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich. 

The biggest news surrounding Real Madrid recently is the fight on the training ground between Valverde and Tchouameni. The Uruguayan sustained a cut during the fight and was taken to the hospital. The club eventually suspended both players and will miss El Clásico. Before that situation, there was a similar one in which Rudiger (reportedly) slapped Álvaro Carreras. Moreover, Dani Ceballos had a severe falling-out with coach Arbeloa and would not play for the remainder of the season. The situation at the club is getting out of control and is beyond fixing, according to many football experts. 

Besides suspended Valverde and Tchouameni, the team will miss a few players due to injuries - Rodrygo, Ferland Mendy, Arda Guler, Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, and Daniel Carvajal. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappé should be available for the upcoming El Clásico.
