Well. the transfer window is still open, and regardless of the absence of Real Madrid’s former talisman, the Real Madrid hierarchy still have the chance to make that high profile signing or signings that would give Los Merengues and edge over the Catalans in subsequent Classico fixtures.

Meanwhile, the likes of Hazard, Neymar, and Mbappe have been linked with a move to the Bernabeu this summer.
Going by how the El Classico has been renowned as a fixture that sees world class players on display, we wait to see who Madrid will choose to fill the great void that has been left by the departure of Ronaldo.
