What can Barcelona do to stop Vinicius Junior?
The Brazilian winger will be a threat in Sunday's Clasico at the Bernabeu
Even though there’s a final against Inter Milan on Wednesday, Barcelona are thinking about the Clasico too, next Sunday. The leaders vs second place, both unbeaten domestically. The Catalans are ahead on goal difference, that’s the only thing between them. And as ever, there is worry about Vinicius Junior.
The Brazilian is a weapon on Madrid's left flank. Barcelona kept him quiet with Ronald Araujo in the last Clasico, a 4-0 win for the Catalans at the Bernabeu. Without the Uruguayan and with Kounde injured still, it could end up being Alejandro Balde there.
The youngster has become important for the club. Against Celta he played right back again and put in a solid performance.
Alejandro, still on a B team deal, is playing a lot and is ahead of Jordi Alba at left-back.
Sergi Roberto is the other option. The clash with Inter will leave more clues…
