Overview
- The match is set for Sunday, October 26 at the Santiago Bernabéu, with coverage in South America on ESPN and DSports and streaming on Disney Plus and DGO.
- Real Madrid enter with 24 points and Barcelona have 22, so the result will temporarily decide first place in LaLiga.
- Kylian Mbappé said Madrid are ready for the game and carries a prolific record against Barça, with five goals in four meetings for Real Madrid and 11 across his PSG and Madrid encounters.
- Lamine Yamal’s viral comments to Ibai Llanos comparing Real Madrid to Porcinos FC—"sí, roban, se quejan"—have sharpened the pre-match edge, and he previously delivered three goals and two assists in last season’s Clásicos.
- Barcelona swept all four official Clásicos last season, including the Supercopa and Copa del Rey final.
