According to a report by Barca Universal on Thursday October 22, 2026, Gerard Pique, a legend at Barcelona, has boldly predicted a 4-1 win for the Catalan giants in their highly anticipated El Clasico matchup against Real Madrid.

A lot of people are looking forward to this season's first El Clasico matchup between Barcelona and Real Madrid because their rivalry has heated up recently. Pique has expressed his expectations ahead of the match because he is aware of the intensity of the fixture.

In a TikTok video that compared and contrasted players from both teams, the former Spanish international made his prediction. The fact that he picked Barcelona so frequently shows how much he still cares about the club.

While Pedri was preferred over Federico Valverde, Joan Garcia was chosen by Pique before Thibaut Courtois. When asked about the anticipated impact of attacking talents on the match, he ranked Lamine Yamal higher than Jude Bellingham.

Anthony Gordon's higher rating than Kylian Mbappe was an unexpected move that showed Pique had faith in Barcelona's players going into the match.

An ironic comment that seemed to acknowledge his evident Barcelona loyalties was captioned by the former defender with the words "Always objective" when he compared players.

While mentioning Inter Milan's famous 5-0 loss to Barcelona in 2010, Pique also brought up Jose Mourinho's notorious trip to Camp Nou.

When Mourinho initially visited the Camp Nou, he was defeated by a score of 5-0. Pique boldly predicted a 4-1 victory for Barcelona against their longtime adversaries, hoping for another stellar showing from his team.

Barcelona should proceed with caution in this match, despite Pique's optimism. The team under Hansi Flick just lost to Paris Saint-Germain, their first loss of the season, and injuries have further complicated matters when it comes to making selections.

At the same time, Real Madrid have shown promising form since the international break, with outstanding results in both European and domestic football competitions.

According to reports, Mbappe and Yan Diomande had good games, giving Madrid offensive threats that could trouble Barcelona's defense all game long.

As a result, we can expect a closely contested Clasico, with Barcelona having to bounce back from their recent losses if they want to achieve Pique's lofty prediction against their archrivals.
