Former Barcelona and Argentina striker Sergio Aguero offered his opinion prior to Sunday’s much anticipated El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu.
When the Manchester City icon scored in a Clasico that the Catalans lost 2-1, he witnessed the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid. A short time later, a heart issue forced him into an early retirement. At the Bernabeu, the two La Liga heavyweights will square off again in what Aguero anticipates to be a thrilling match.

“Barca has a fantastic team, and they are enthusiastic. “It will be a fantastic match, he continued.
When the season came to a close, he was questioned about whether Real Madrid had underrated Barcelona. “I don’t think there is any animosity between the two rivals, and this is not something that happens in leagues of this level,” Aguero retorted.
Aguero then predicted a win for the Blaugrana, saying: “Barça have had some problems lately, but they seem to be getting over them. They manage to overcome these issues and defeat Real even with the injured defenders.
