The first El Clasico of the season has arrived already with significant stakes as Barcelona host their arch rivals Real Madrid at the newly renovated Camp Nou on Sunday.
The Blaugrana are flying this season, perfect through nine matches on the La Liga season, already giving them a five-point gap at the top of the table ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid and six points clear of third-placed Los Blancos.
Their European results couldn’t have been more opposite, however, as Barcelona were beaten by the defending Champoins League title-holders PSG 4-2 in Paris on Wednesday, while Madrid thumped RB Leipzig 4-1 at home.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
