Real Madrid is preparing for the Clasico match against Barcelona while maintaining its defensive solidity, as the team has not conceded any goals in two consecutive matches this season, against both Getafe and Juventus.

According to a report by the Spanish newspaper "Marca", the number of matches in which the team has kept a clean sheet has reached six out of twelve matches played in La Liga and the Champions League, while conceding one goal in five matches, and only five goals in the derby match against Atletico Madrid.

The report confirmed that coach Xabi Alonso has restored to Real Madrid a defensive solidity that the team did not enjoy last season under Carlo Ancelotti, relying on high pressing and a fast pace to keep opponents away from Courtois' area and reduce risks in front of the goal.

The report also noted that Courtois has performed exceptionally in recent matches, saving the team from conceding goals against Getafe and Juventus with decisive saves, reflecting an improvement in his defensive stats compared to the 2019/2020 season, when he won the Zamora Trophy after conceding 20 goals in 34 matches, averaging 0.58 goals per match.

The report also highlights that Real Madrid tops the list of teams with the least goals conceded in the league this season, having scored only nine goals, compared to eight goals for Real Alaves, while Osasuna, Athletic Bilbao, and Elche share the same number, while Barcelona has one more goal.

With this exceptional defensive performance, Real Madrid stands out as a solid team before the anticipated Clasico match, presenting a true test for Alonso's defensive strategies against the Catalan team, as pointed out by the Spanish newspaper "Marca".
