Barcelona wins Real Madrid in the first Clasico of this 2022-2023 season in Las Vegas. This match was the first one of both teams on this pre-season and Barça won by 1-0 on a comfortable game for them.
The team of Xavi Hernandez won the first game of the season for them with good feelings. Barcelona wants to have more level this season and fight in Champions League and to win La Liga with Real Madrid. The signings of the club this summer have been really relevant for the club and for the encouragement of the fans. Laporta made a really good summer transfer market and Barça signs amazing players like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Kessie, Christensen or Pablo Torre. With his current starts like Ansu Fati or Pedri they are looking really competitive for this new season. And they showed this good level on the match against his big rivalry, Real Madrid.
Catalonia team won an easy match for them with an incredible goal of Raphinha. Also, they had a lot of chances during the game to enlarge this advantage. However, as it is usual, Thibaut Courtois made (one more time) an incredible performance to stop the possible goals of Xavi´s team.
It is clear that Real Madrid is not on point yet. However, it is just a pre-season game and probably is not relevant face to the new season. Carlo Ancelotti just wanted to try some strategies and players like Rudiger or Tchouameni. Their first important objetive is the Supercup against Eintracht the next August 10 at Olympic Stadium of Helsinki.
