With El Clásico fast approaching, Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has sent a strong message ahead of the highly anticipated clash against Barcelona on October 26. Speaking to Diario AS, the Brazilian star made it clear that Los Blancos are determined to deliver a statement performance at the Santiago Bernabéu.
“We have to win and show them who we are,” Rodrygo said passionately. “We must beat them, no matter what! Last season against Barça was horrible for us. That cannot happen again.”
The winger’s comments reflect the mood inside the Real Madrid camp as Alonso’s men prepare for one of the most important fixtures of their season. Madrid endured mixed results against their arch-rivals last year, suffering painful defeats that still linger in the minds of the players and fans alike.
This season, however, Rodrygo insists things will be different. With the likes of Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr., and Kylian Mbappe in fine form, Real Madrid will enter the Clásico full of confidence. The team currently sits near the top of La Liga, and a victory over Barcelona would not only strengthen their title hopes but also send a powerful message to their Catalan rivals.
