Real Madrid faces off against Barcelona in a La Liga showdown on Sunday, Oct. 26 at 8:15 a.m. PDT at Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid.
The first El Clásico this season finds Los Blancos and Barça at the top of La Liga the table, in first and second place. That’s exactly how fans of both mega teams like it. Also, both teams have come from decisive wins in the Champions League. Barcelona thrashed lowly Olympiakos, while Real Madrid won a tight match against another superpower, Juventus.
Something to watch is if Kylian Mbappé will continue his relentless scoring pace (10 goals and 2 assists in nine matches), only comparable to what Erling Haaland (11 goals and 1 assist in 8 matches) and Harry Kane (12 goals and 3 assists in 8 matches) are doing in the English Premier League and German Bundesliga, respectively.
