Barcelona vs Real Madrid: El Clásico preview
It feels like Barcelona have had the upper hand over Real Madrid for a few years now, and a consecutive La Liga title is now a formality, with just two points required. A draw on Sunday, however, would be enough, limiting Los Blancos to a maximum of 87 points (Barça sit on 88 currently).
But as much as today will be a ceremony, a bit of history is on the cards, with this El Clásico having the potential to be the first to decide a Spanish league title since 1932.
Key to Barça’s impending title has been their home form. The Blaugrana have won all 17 games at home this season, scoring 52 and conceding just nine in the process.
Albeit they will be without top scorer Lamine Yamal, it is still hard to see past Hansi Flick’s side as they look to put one final nail in the Madrid coffin.

For Álvaro Arbeloa, his stint in charge of Los Blancos hasn’t been overly successful. Kylian Mbappé’s future has consistently dominated the headlines, and their exit to Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League has meant it is now almost two years since they last won silverware.
But El Clásico always offers a potential silver lining, and the chance to spoil their rivals title party should be motivation enough.
Mbappé will potentially miss this game again, while Éder Militão, Rodrygo, Arda Güler, and Ferland Mendy will all be absent.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Barcelona 4-1 Real Madrid
Barcelona will secure their title in style.
