According to "Varzesh3", Barcelona's young star, despite his young age, has so far stood opposite the French striker 11 times and, by gaining 9 victories against only 2 wins for Mbappé, has a tangible psychological superiority over his rival.
Yamal is in the best form of his professional career and at the beginning of this season, by registering 10 goals and 10 assists, has recorded a direct impact on 20 goals in his name. On the other side, Mbappé, who is following the season with 12 goals and 3 assists, knows that to preserve his credibility and prove his abilities he urgently needs a victory in this match.
The French striker also has a smaller chance of winning the Ballon d'Or, since last season he gained no trophy with Real Madrid and the French national team, and sees Harry Kane as his main rival.
The first confrontation of these two players goes back to the 2023-24 Champions League season and the Paris Saint-Germain match against Barcelona — after Barça's victory in the first leg, the Parisians prevailed in the return leg with Mbappé shining.
In total direct confrontations, Yamal has scored 6 goals and Mbappé 9 goals. Apart from Real Madrid's victory at the Santiago Bernabéu, their other encounters, whether at club level or at national level, including the Spanish national team's victory over France in the Euro semi-final, have been accompanied by the success of the Barcelona star.
Yamal and Mbappé had missed the previous meeting of the two teams at Camp Nou due to injury, and the upcoming El Clásico is considered their first confrontation at the home of the Blaugrana.
