Real Madrid to Host Barcelona in La Liga

Real Madrid host Barcelona in El Clasico tonight as the LaLiga rivals meet in the biggest derby in European football.

Both teams lost out to Atletico Madrid in the race for the Spanish title last season, but it is Real Madrid who hold a clear advantage in the table this year.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side come into the weekend 10 points clear of second-place Sevilla, with Barcelona a further five points behind in their bid to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Barcelona have improved since the appointment of Xavi, who replaced Ronald Koeman as the club’s manager earlier this season, and are 11 games unbeaten in all competitions.
