Barcelona vs Real Madrid - Combined XI of El Clasico | La Liga 2020/21

Left-winger: Ansu Fati (Barcelona)

Sky's the limit for the Barca wonderkid

Following an emphatic breakthrough campaign with Barcelona last season, the 17-year-old wonderkid is touted for bigger things this time, and his bright start so far - four goals from five games in all competitions - clearly show he's well on his way towards achieving them. A goal or two in the upcoming El Clasico would be a further consolidation of his precocious talents.

Striker: Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)

Benzema's form has dipped this season

The new season hasn't seen the best of Benzema yet, who's scored just once in six outings in all competitions so far. However, what better occasion to hit top gear than the Clasico? He isn't a regular scorer in the fixture but has stepped up to the plate when it mattered. With his team currently on a downward spiral, the Frenchman's services are all the more vital.

Right-winger: Lionel Messi (Barcelona)

Messi is the all-time scorer in the Clasico with 26 goals

In what could be his final Clasico at the Camp Nou, the skipper would be determined to make a mark, fans or no fans. He hasn't scored against Real Madrid in the last six games though, a dry spell stretching all the way back to April 2018 when Cristiano Ronaldo made his last appearance in the tie. Messi will be hoping to break the duck on Saturday.
