There are few rivalries as popular the one between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Liverpol and Manchester United have both seen their status as the top dogs in English football dismantled, while the Old Firm’s fall from grace means Celtic fans are still making fun of Rangers’ failure to join them back in the Scottish Premier League just yet.
But El Clasico remains a clash of two Spanish giants and a showcase of some of the best players in the world.
The two sides face off on Saturday night at Camp Nou, with Lionel Messi and co – who will wear a special once-off kit to honour Johan Cruyff – holding a 10-point lead over their Madrid rivals coming into the game.
Zinedine Zidane’s men currently lie third in the table, and must win in order to keep up the pressure on their local rivals Atletico Madrid who hold a four-point advantage over Los Blancos, having played an extra game.
Both teams are looking strong for what promises to be an exciting game.
