El Clásico never disappoints, and the two giants of Spanish football meet again today in what is a hugely important clash in the La Liga title race, nine games into the season.

Madrid sit at the top of the table, having lost one game but won their other eight. Barcelona, last season's champions, trail by two points after losing one and drawing one.

Victory for Madrid would open a five-point gap, which is a chasm as far as these two teams are concerned. An away win for Barcelona, meanwhile, would send them top and hand them all the momentum and morale.

Kylian Mbappé has been in frightening form for Real Madrid with 15 goals in 12 games this season, but Barcelona possess the young superstar Lamine Yamal, while the in-form Marcus Rashford is also pushing for an appearance in his first Clásico.
