The El Clasico is known for generating plenty of hype and eyeballs across the world and it is considered as one of the most brutal rivalries in sportsThe legends match will take place exactly one month after the showdown between the two clubs in La Liga on Monday, October 26 at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Barcelona are currently the league leaders of La Liga whereas Real Madrid are sitting six points behind at fourthLast season, Barca had the better of Los Blancos as the current La Liga holders won all three of their meetings with the 15-time UEFA Champions League winners, twice in a cup final (Supercopa de Espana and Copa Del Rey) and once in the league.
The pressure will surely be on Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho who replaced Carlo Ancelotti from the helm earlier this yearThey will have to be wary of Hansi Flick’s Barcelona who are undoubtedly the most in-form side across Europe.
