Will Madrid get their revenge after the 0-4 last year? Will Barcelona reclaim leadership in LaLiga? We’ll know on Sunday!
The first Clásico of the season, a match between the top two clubs in Spain, Real Madrid and Barcelona, takes place this weekend. It will be the first of two duels in LaLiga, held this time at the Bernabéu.
The most followed football match in Spain, and perhaps in the world, will take place Sunday, October 26, at 16:15 CET (15:15 BST), as part matchday 10 out of 38. Here are ten key facts to know the context of this particular duel before the match.
Real Madrid looks for revenge after losing all four Clásicos last season (two in Liga, one in Super Cup, one in Spanish Cup). The precedent at the Bernabéu, on October 28, 2024, ended 0-4 with goals by Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski.
Unlike last year, Real Madrid arrives leader in the league (24 points), two points ahead of Barcelona (22), having won all but one match. Barcelona needs to win to become leaders in the league.
