BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Real Madrid and a red-hot Kylian Mbappé host Barcelona on Sunday aiming to hit back at their rivals after losing all four clasicos last season.
Mbappé has scored a La Liga-leading 10 goals in nine rounds – four more than his nearest chaser – and another five goals in the Champions League over the first two months of the campaign.
Barcelona arrives at the Santiago Bernabeu with injury concerns in attack and coach Hansi Flick heading for a seat in a stadium box, after he saw a red card for protesting in the last round.
Lamine Yamal will start for the visitors after having played two games since returning from a nagging groin injury. But Robert Lewandowski is ruled out for Barcelona with a hamstring injury and forward Raphinha is doubtful.
