In a highly anticipated clash, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, the top two teams in LaLiga, are set to face off in the iconic El Clasico on Sunday, October 27.
Barcelona, under the guidance of Hansi Flick, have made an impressive start to the season, boasting nine wins and only one loss. Their young and academy-driven team has been a force to reckon with, led by the likes of 17-year-old Lamine Yamal.
Real Madrid, however, are hot on their heels with 24 points, remaining unbeaten in the league. They are aiming to tie Barcelona’s record of the longest unbeaten streak in LaLiga, currently standing at 42 matches.
The match will be a test of strength for both teams. Real Madrid boasts star power with Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappe, who will make his El Clasico debut. Barcelona, on the other hand, will rely on their La Masia academy graduates, who recently stunned Bayern Munich 4-1 in the Champions League.
This El Clasico is particularly significant as it marks the first since Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Real Madrid in 2018. Barcelona will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table, while Real Madrid will aim to close the gap and continue their record-breaking run.
