It’s time for the first Clásico of the season, with Barcelona hosting Real Madrid at 10:00 p.m. at Camp Nou, in one of the most prestigious derbies on the planet.
The Catalans have nine wins in as many matches, having accumulated 27 points, and lead the La Liga standings. The Spanish champions have tied Real Madrid’s historic record from the 1968–69 season and are looking against their archrival, to go 10-for-10, making history and extending their lead over the Madrid side to nine points.

On the other side, the “Queen” is under pressure, as with 21 points they sit in 3rd place, trailing both the Catalans and Atlético Madrid. A positive result in Barcelona for José Mourinho’s team will keep them close to the top, while also sending the “message” that they’re in it for the title, while a loss would widen the gap even further from Hansi Flick’s team, which has dominated domestic competitions in recent years.
Starting Lineups
Barcelona (Hansy Flick): García, Espar, Kubarsi, Martín, Cancelo, Rodri, Pedri, Yamal, López, Gordon, Rafinha
Real Madrid (José Mourinho): Lunin, Valverde, Konaté, Huissen, Cucurella, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Bernardo Silva, Güler, Diomandé, Mbappé
