El Clasico awaits in Santiago Bernabeu at 7:00 p.m. UTC on Sunday. Real Madrid had an 8 point lead in the La Liga table before the clash against Barcelona.
Real Madrid had a great season going on; they beat Manchester City in the UCL quarterfinal. They beat Barcelona two times this season. Carlo Ancelotti’s side has a huge advantage at the Bernabue.
On the other side, Xavi’s Catalan side was knocked out of the Champions League by 4-1 against Paris Saint-Germain. Barcelona really wants a must-win to compete for the La Liga title.
