EL Clasico (LIVE UPDATES): Real Madrid seek to overtake Barcelona

byTunde Eludini

3 min read

One of the fiercest rivalries in club football will be reignited again tonight at the Santiago Bernabeu as another instalment of EL Clasico is set to go down

Sunday’s ‘Clasico’ is quite crucial as far as La Liga’s title race is concerned.

Defending Champions Barca take a two-point lead into the clash at the Santiago Bernabeu after cashing in on a poor run of form by Zinedine Zidane’s side, who drew 2-2 with Celta Vigo and lost to Levante in their last two league fixtures.

Stay with PREMIUM TIMES for Live Updates

Kickoff is 9.pm

Line ups:

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos, Isco Benzema, Vinicius.

Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, N. Semedo, Pique, Sergio, Arthur, Messi, Griezmann, Jordi Alba, F. De Jong, Vidal, Umtiti.
