Kylian Mbappé has a master plan to win El Clásico: 'He's the worst at Barça'

Kylian Mbappé arrives at El Clásico in absolutely spectacular form. The French forward has scored in eleven consecutive matches, a streak that shows his ambition, confidence, and ability to decide matches of any magnitude. Every time he steps into the opponent's box, he creates the feeling that something important is about to happen: he is the best.

Real Madrid faces the biggest clash of the year with sky-high morale. The connection between Kylian Mbappé and his teammates is total, which allows them to display a more fluid and aggressive attacking version. This boost comes at the best possible moment, right before facing Barça, which, despite their talent, is experiencing some defensive doubts.

Kylian Mbappé identifies Barça's weak spots

In Barça's recent matches, Kylian Mbappé has detected an obvious weakness that Madrid intends to exploit. By analyzing videos of the most recent matches, the Frenchman has identified the left flank as the vulnerable point. In his opinion, Alejandro Balde is not going through his best moment and can "be the worst at Barça".

The Barça full-back has returned after an injury, and his performance has not yet reached the level that made him one of the great promises of European soccer. Alejandro Balde appears to lack rhythm, has difficulties closing his side, and is somewhat imprecise in individual duels. Even so, Flick fully trusts him and plans to keep him as a starter, a decision that Real Madrid sees as a clear opportunity.

Alejandro Balde especially struggled in recent matches against teams with fast wingers, and that is exactly what Kylian Mbappé represents. Real Madrid's "10" will surely prepare for the match with a specific plan: to exploit the space behind Balde and punish his lack of forcefulness. His speed and power when accelerating can become the most dangerous weapon of the entire match.

Barça's plan to stop Kylian Mbappé

Barça, aware of Alejandro Balde's form, will try to reinforce their defensive coverage on that side. However, the physical wear that Kylian Mbappé generates usually causes mistakes even in the most solid defenders. If Real Madrid manages to connect with him in the final yards, the balance of the match could quickly tip in favor of the white team.

Flick knows that the key to stopping Kylian Mbappé is to anticipate and minimize spaces, something Barça has not achieved in their latest performances. That's why Alejandro Balde's performance will be one of the most decisive tactical focuses of El Clásico. Meanwhile, the Frenchman is convinced that he can decide the match from there.
