As Real Madrid prepares for the highly anticipated El Clasico on the 26th at the Santiago Bernabeu, manager Carlo Ancelotti has shared his thoughts on the player who worries him the most in Barcelona's lineup. Despite much focus being on the strikers, Ancelotti is particularly concerned about Brazilian winger Raphinha, who has been a key figure in Barcelona’s impressive start to the season.
According to reports from *Defensa Central*, Raphinha, who was initially linked with a transfer away from Barcelona last summer, chose to stay and is proving his worth with a standout season. His performance has been instrumental in keeping Barcelona near the top of the La Liga standings.
Raphinha’s versatility and attacking prowess have not gone unnoticed by Real Madrid's leadership, with club president Florentino Perez also expressing admiration for the player.
As the Clasico approaches, Ancelotti is expected to focus on neutralizing Raphinha’s impact on the right wing, recognizing the threat he poses to Real Madrid’s defense. With Barcelona’s attack being bolstered by Raphinha's dynamic play, Ancelotti will be crafting strategies to ensure his team is well-prepared for the challenge.
