Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has reportedly named his squad for Sunday’s El Clásico against Barcelona, with several established stars included ahead of the highly anticipated La Liga encounter.

According to a report by Daily Post Nigeria published on October 24, 2026, the Spanish giants are preparing to face their historic rivals at Camp Nou, with both teams expected to compete for a crucial result.

Real Madrid reportedly enter the fixture after defeating RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League during the week. Barcelona, meanwhile, are said to have suffered a defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in their European encounter.

The reported squad includes three goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Andriy Lunin and Mestre.

The defenders named in the selection are Éder Militão, Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Marc Cucurella, Carreras, Antonio Rüdiger and Denzel Dumfries.

In midfield, the reported list features Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler, Bernardo and Thiago.

The forwards listed are Endrick, Kylian Mbappé, C. Espí, Brahim Díaz and Yan Diomande.

The selection has attracted attention because of the quality of players named, particularly Mbappé, Bellingham and Vinícius-related attacking expectations surrounding Real Madrid’s performances in major matches. However, the published list should be treated cautiously because it has not been independently confirmed against an official club announcement.

The reported squad also contains several names whose inclusion requires verification before the list can be considered authoritative. Supporters will therefore await confirmation from Real Madrid regarding the players available for the match.

El Clásico remains one of the most closely followed fixtures in world football, with the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid attracting international attention. Sunday’s result could also have implications for the La Liga title race, depending on the clubs’ positions in the standings.

Both teams will be seeking a strong performance, while the confirmed starting lineups will provide a clearer indication of their tactical approaches.
