Three pieces that have fit very well into Hansi Flick&#8217;s scheme, providing greater depth to a team capable of scoring 174 goals in 60 games the previous year, which, this summer, scored another 20 goals in its four friendlies.<\/p>  <h2>Real Madrid&#8217;s infirmary, much more populated than Bar\u00e7a&#8217;s<\/h2>  <p>In addition, in the physical aspect, Real Madrid has several casualties to start the season. <strong>Jude Bellingham<\/strong>, operated on his left shoulder, along with <strong>Ferland Mendy<\/strong>, a rupture of the proximal tendon of the rectus anterior in the right quadriceps, will not be available in the initial stretch of the season.<\/p>  <p>They are joined by <strong>Eduardo Camavinga<\/strong> (ankle sprain), <strong>Endrick Felipe<\/strong> (hamstrings) and <strong>Federico Valderde<\/strong> (muscle overload). In conclusion, the team has five casualties for its debut in Laliga, three of them of medium duration. Both Jude, Camavinga and Mendy are expected to be out until the end of October.<\/p>  <p>On the contrary, Bar\u00e7a only has two casualties. <strong>Marc -Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen<\/strong>, due to lumbar problems, and <strong>Robert Lewandowski<\/strong>, who presents, muscle discomfort in the femoral biceps of the left thigh. Marc Bernal is already in condition to play again.<\/p>  <p>For all this, FC Barcelona, clearly, arrives better in the physical and footballing aspect at the beginning of LaLiga. Hansi Flick&#8217;s team are the main favorites to revalidate the title and aim for the treble in 2026.<\/p>  <div class=\"cke-element cke-element--102\"><section class=\"c-related-article\"><figure class=\"c-image__fig\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/laliga\/predicciones-opta-laliga-2025-26-campeon-clasificados-europa-equipos-descendidos_314082_102.html\" title=\"Predicciones de Opta para LaLiga 202526 campe\u00f3n  clasificados a Europa y equipos descendidos\" class=\"c-image__imglink\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/fcbn-604dca257ae57e7e4a57f91f411a704a.webp\" alt=\"Predicciones de Opta para LaLiga 202526 campe\u00f3n  clasificados a Europa y equipos descendidos\" title=\"Predicciones de Opta para LaLiga 202526 campe\u00f3n  clasificados a Europa y equipos descendidos\" class=\"c-image__img\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><\/a>     <\/figure><div class=\"c-related-article__wrapper\">         <p class=\"c-related-article__avantitle\">Related<\/p>         <h4 class=\"c-related-article__title\">             <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/laliga\/predicciones-opta-laliga-2025-26-campeon-clasificados-europa-equipos-descendidos_314082_102.html\" title=\"Opta Predictions for LaLiga 2025\/26: Champion, European Qualifiers, and Relegated Teams\" class=\"c-related-article__link\">                 Opta Predictions for LaLiga 2025\/26: Champion, European Qualifiers, and Relegated Teams             <\/a>         <\/h4>     <\/div> <\/section><\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bar\u00e7a arrives much more physically fit after the preseason compared to Real Madrid FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are ready for the start of LaLiga next weekend.
