Real Madrid plans to target Lamine Yamal in the decisive Clasico against Barcelona

The eyes are on the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium next Sunday, where Real Madrid meets its rival Barcelona in the tenth round of La Liga, in a match that could determine the identity of the league leader early on.

According to Spanish media reports, Real Madrid's coach, Xabi Alonso, has devised a tactical plan that targets a weakness in Barcelona's ranks, specifically in the defensive side of the young star Lamine Yamal. The plan relies on leaving French defender Jules Koundé in a direct confrontation with Vinicius Junior, to exploit the spaces left by Yamal during defensive transitions.

Although the royal club insists on focusing on its current matches against Getafe and Juventus, close sources to the team confirmed that the Clasico occupies the coaching staff's thoughts, especially after a series of defeats that Real suffered against Barcelona last season in various competitions.

Xabi Alonso, who seeks to break the Catalans' dominance, knows that Hansi Flick's team is not in its best form, but he refuses to underestimate his opponent, recalling the loss to Atletico Madrid that came as a result of moments of complacency.

The match carries a vengeful character for Real Madrid, which seeks to restore its prestige and lead, while Barcelona tries to prove its ability to compete despite technical fluctuations.
