Lineup
Pre-match information
The El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid taking place tonight is very important. Barca are leading the La Liga rankings, 4 points ahead of second-placed Madrid.
A victory will almost help coach Hansi Flick and his team touch the championship. Conversely, if they lose, Los Blancos will narrow the gap to just 1 point with three more rounds left.
The home team was just painfully eliminated in the Champions League against Inter Milan with a total score of 6-7 after extra time at San Siro. Real Madrid have also been eliminated from the Champions League in the quarter-finals, so La Liga will be the only major title that both teams can win this season.
Barcelona are rated higher as they have been unbeaten in their last 15 matches in La Liga (won 13, drew 2). At the same time, they have a very good record against Real Madrid this season, winning all three of their encounters in 3 arenas (La Liga, Spanish Super Cup and Spanish King's Cup).
In the entire history, Barca have only won 4 consecutive Super Classical matches once, that is in the period from 2008 to 2010 under Guardiola (5).
