With Luis Suárez back from his ban, Barcelona Coach, Luis Enrique, can finally choose from a full pack of strikers for Saturday’s El Clasico against Real Madrid.
Leo Messi, Neymar Jr, Luis Suárez, Pedro Rodríguez, Sandro Ramírez and Munir El Haddadi are all available.
Not counting Suarez, the other five have bagged more than 80% of the team’s goals this season.
There’s plenty of focus on what Suarez’s role is going to be on Saturday, but the presence of Messi and Neymar upfront would also be giving the Madrid defence headaches – the two of them have managed more than 19 out of 28 of the team’s goals this season.
Sandro (3), Pedro (1) and Munir (1) have also scored, with the combined goals from the front men representing more than 80% of the total.
Messi and Pedro have plenty of experience against Real Madrid, whilst Neymar made his El Clasico debut last season with a goal at the Camp Nou.
For Luis Suárez, Sandro and Munir, Saturday would be their first appearance in the El Clasico.
Luis Enrique, confirmed that Suarez would indeed get some time on the pitch against Real Madrid in the match better known as “El Clasico.”
“(Suarez) will have some minutes for sure, how many I cannot say,” Enrique told his pregame news conference on Friday (via ESPN). “It is a big thing for him, to join up finally with the team, and get some minutes.”
