FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will meet this Saturday in ElClasico, which will be the 255th meeting of these two clubs in official competition, with the head-to-head record so finely balanced.
This is a historic rivalry that goes back more than 100 years and that will be experienced, for the first time, by talented summer signings like João Félix, Jude Bellingham, Kepa Arrizabalaga and João Cancelo.
Barcelona’s last five matches:
- Barcelona 2-1 Shaktar Donetsk
- Barcelona 1-0 Athletic Bilbao
- Granada 2-2 Barcelona
- FC Porto 0-1 Barcelona
- Barcelona 1-0 Sevilla
On this occasion, it’ll be taking place in a new setting, at the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc, given that Los Azulgrana’s usual home ground, the Spotify Camp Nou, is currently being redeveloped.
