El Clásico Returns: Real Madrid to Host Barcelona in Madrid Derby
Bitter Rivals Clash for LaLiga Dominance
WEB Real Madrid will seek to extend their lead atop the LaLiga standings when they welcome arch-rivals Barcelona to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in a highly anticipated El Clasico clash. The match, scheduled for 24 October 2021, marks the first time the two teams have faced each other in the league's marquee fixture at the Bernabeu since the COVID-19 pandemic halted play in 2020.
Madrid Eyeing Ligal Triumph
Despite a disappointing result in the Champions League, Real Madrid enter El Clasico as the favorites. The team currently leads the league table by eight points over Barcelona and have lost just once in their last five matches. Led by the likes of Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior, and Luka Modric, Madrid will be aiming to solidify their grip on the title chase.
Barcelona Seeking Upset
Barcelona, on the other hand, come into the match in a less favorable position. The team has been struggling for consistency all season and currently sits in ninth place in the league. The Catalan giants will be without several key players due to injury, including Sergio Aguero and Ousmane Dembele. However, the return of Ansu Fati from injury could provide a much-needed boost for their attack.
El Clasico promises to be a captivating clash between two of the world's most famous and successful clubs. The match is likely to draw a global audience and will have a significant impact on the outcome of the LaLiga title race.
