La Liga Chief on the upcoming El Clásico: "Barcelona is on the Rise"

La Liga president Javier Tebas shared his expectations ahead of the 11th-round clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Spanish championship.

"Is Barcelona the favorite? Considering the current situation, they certainly have a good chance of winning. Although everyone says Real Madrid struggles to secure victories, they still manage to win. This is an important match where either side could come out on top. I have a sense that Barcelona is on the rise, which nobody anticipated before the start of the season. Perhaps this leads us to view them as stronger than they really are," Tebas told Marca.

The 11th-round La Liga match between Real Madrid and Barcelona is set to take place on October 26 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
