3 Reasons why this El Clasico wasn't as 'classic' as previous ones

#2 Real Madrid's lack of urge and confidence from the start

Lopegui's men lacked confidence and energy against Barcelona

Real Madrid have gone through some really big events off the pitch in the transfer window and their managerial transition has not gone in the right direction. Julen Lopegui's side is in a dreadful form having procured just 4 wins from 10 in La Liga. Moreover, it is the first time in 9 years that they have lost 3 consecutive fixtures in Spain.

Real Madrid's poor run and various consequences of various transitions in the transfer window were clearly seen in Camp Nou. They lacked the attribute of pressing and urge they usually used to have in previous El Clasicos.

However, Lopegui's tactical switches after 45 minutes resulted in Marcelo's goal on the 50-minute mark but it wasn't much effective and they fell way behind sizzling Catalans due to lack of energy, conventional urge, and confidence.
