Tonight, Barcelona will host rivals Real Madrid at the "Lluís Companys Olympic" stadium, as part of the 35th round of the Spanish La Liga for the current 2024-2025 season.
This will be the final El Clásico for the 2024/2025 season.
Barcelona top the Spanish La Liga table with 79 points from 34 matches, achieving victory in 25 games, drawing 4, and losing 5 matches.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid occupies second place in the Spanish La Liga table with 75 points, having won 23 matches, drawn 6, and lost 5.
Barcelona, led by coach Hansi Flick, seek to secure the three points against Real Madrid to edge closer to clinching the La Liga title and appease their fans after being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Italy’s Inter Milan in the semi-finals in a dramatic 7-6 aggregate loss.
A Barcelona win against Real Madrid in the Matchday 35 Clásico would widen the gap to seven points.
With only three matches remaining, Barça would then need just one more win to officially secure the title.
On the other hand, Real Madrid, under coach Carlo Ancelotti, seek revenge for their consecutive losses to Barcelona—the most recent being in the Copa del Rey final, and before that in the domestic Super Cup final.
The first-leg encounter this season ended with a crushing 4-0 win for the Catalan side.
Reigning champions Real Madrid hope to close the gap to just one point in today’s match to intensify the title race in the final rounds.
