Along the history, are very few those who can boast to having played with the FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid. One of them is Michael Laudrup, the one who recently has analysed the actuality of both clubs, so much regarding the staff that have at present,as in the possible signings that could reinforce the ones of one or another team after the summer.

One of the subjects tackled by the Danish in statements for 'RAC1' has been the one of the signing of Andreas Christensen by the Barcelona team, and indicated that arrive from the Premier is an advantage, although it will require the support of a hierarchical figure: "Technically it is very good, knows to play well and is in the league with more rhythm of the world. The Barça plays with the defence further up and Chelsea, further down, but will adapt if has to a Hammered to his side so that it help him".

Likewise, it has had some words of praise for Pedri González, the one who shined recently in front of the Galatasaray: "it Is doing the things very well, has coolness, as it checked with the goal that marked in Turkey, is very young… The Barça has to it to him ensure by a lot of years. Has quality and power. And if to this age is where is, paints very well for the future".

Regarding Erling Haaland, pretended by the Barcelona and Madrid, sustains that it requires of some specific conditions to develop his game sure enough, by what does not know if it will adapt to the diagram of Xavi: "it Is a very physical player and his game needs space because he does not participate with the combinations neither is in the narrow places. It has to be in a team that give him balloons. This yes, will mark goals in any team, but have the doubt of if it could fit well by his game and the one who does the Barça".

For Laudrup, the Madrid arrives better to the Classical

For the Danish, both teams arrive in big form to the commitment, but the whites would arrive with a light advantage: "two months ago it had been a classical with two teams far of his best version, but now is very trusted both. It will be a good party. The Real Madrid is a pelín favourite because it plays home and because the Barça had a lot wear in Turkey, where did not have an easy party".

Nevertheless, it recognises that it does not feel follower of one or another club and that keeps good friendships in both: "Barça or Madrid? It is the question that always do me and do not know that answer. I am Danish… Why have to go with one or another? I do not understand the question. I go with the people, for me is the most important. When I arrive to the Camp Nou or to the Bernabéu look for to the people with which had relation. It is what more thrills me".

Finally, it has remembered the one who considers his best Classical, a party that took place in the season 1990-91, when it dressed the Barcelona T-shirt, that in his opinion was not very remembered by his brilliant performance: "it was not the 5-0, no, went that, a 2-1. I marked the first goal, a golazo, afterwards empató the Madrid and, at the end, arrived an autogol of Spasic. The next day all the world spoke of the goal in own door of Spasic, anybody of my golazo".
