Barcelona and Real Madrid renew hostilities in the latest edition of El Clasico tonight.
Sunday’s derby showdown comes at a key moment in the LaLiga title race with the Blaugrana a hefty nine points clear as the business end of the season draws closer.
Madrid may be into the quarter-finals of the Champions League but, despite defeating Barcelona back at the Bernabeu, they have lost two Clasico contests since in the Supercopa de Espana final and Copa del Rey semi-final first leg.
