The game was postponed earlier in the year due to heated clashes between Catalan independence protesters and police.

While much of the narrative will revolve around the off-field significance of Barcelona – a bold symbol of Catalonia – going into battle with Spanish state-backed Real Madrid, there’s plenty to get excited about on the pitch.

Despite a sluggish beginning to the campaign, Zinedine Zidane is drawing out a tune from his all-star squad.

Barcelona drew with Real Sociedad last weekend but Lionel Messi remains in ferocious form and will be determined to continue his wild record in El Clasico this time around.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

Barcelona fans will generate an electric atmosphere inside the iconic Nou Camp, but Real Madrid’s stars have their swagger back and won’t be intimidated,

The magic man Messi is likely to be a decider in this one, as is the case in far too many Barcelona matches.

Ernesto Valverde is much-maligned in the hot seat, but in Messi he boasts a reusable ‘get out of jail free’ card and is likely to rely on it once more.
