power to chase whoever they want moving forward.
Speaking of spending power, Barcelona came into the summer with none, but through a myriad of deals were able to net quite the haul in the transfer market. Xavi's side has already added Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Franck Kessie, and Andreas Christensen. Even after adding this quartet, they aren't done as Jules Kounde and Cesar Azpilicueta could still join the fray.
The amount of turnover in Barcelona makes this an important preseason which is why this edition of El Clasico means something even if points and trophies aren't on the line. Sergino Dest and Memphis Depay are a few names who come to mind who will need to impress if they'd like to spend more time at Barcelona. Dest won't be able to get forward as much behind Raphinha so he'll need to be better on the defensive end while Depay now finds himself as the third choice forward or winger
For Xavi, the match will be a good litmus test for where his players are after a scrimmage versus Inter Miami where they scored six goals and Raphinha opened his Barcelona scoring account. Round robin friendlies with Real Madrid and Juventus won't hurt revenue either.

Storylines
Real Madrid: It's hard to see how Real Madrid will attack this game. It's a good opportunity for younger players to test themselves against Barcelona as the starting lineup is mostly settled for Carlo Ancelotti heading into the season. There are reports that in training Ancelotti has been testing Eden Hazard as a false nine so that could be something to watch. Otherwise, it's just another match to get fitness before defending their league and Champions League titles.
Barcelona: While lineups don't really matter in friendlies, all eyes will be on Xavi and Frenkie de Jong. With the midfielder still attracting interest from Manchester United, he was used as a center back during the Inter Miami friendly but will be needed in midfield if he stays at Barcelona this season unless Xavi looks to change to a back three formation. Seeing how Barcelona attack the game will be important as Xavi is figuring out his rotations for both the league and Champions Leauge.
