This Clasico has a little added flavor as Barcelona could very well be crowned LaLiga champions on Sunday. All Barca needs is a draw against their hated rival to clinch the title.
Fanatics Sportsbook has Barcelona as a -150 favorite, and Real Madrid as a +330 underdog. A tie is priced at +375.
The match will take place at 3 p.m. ET at Camp Nou in Barcelona, and will be broadcast in the US on ESPN.
Real Madrid will be without midfielder Federico Valverde due to a head injury he suffered during an altercation with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni on Thursday at practice. Tchouameni might also miss Sunday’s match, and both players are likely set to face severe disciplinary action from Real Madrid brass due to the incident.
Los Blancos were already in rough shape given that leading goal-scorer Kylian Mbappe has been nursing a left hamstring strain that kept him out of this past Sunday’s Madrid win over Espanyol (2-0). Vinicius Junior tallied both goals for Real Madrid.
Barcelona, meanwhile, is fresh off a 2-1 win over Osasuna this past Saturday. Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres found the net in the Barca victory.
Barca comes into this Clasico match with a 29-1-4 LaLiga record. Real is 24-5-5 on the campaign.
Barcelona won the last meeting between the two old rivals, 3-2, on Jan. 11, 2026 in the Spanish Super Cup final. That highly intense match was won by Raphinha in the 73rd minute. His shot deflected off a Madrid defender, confusing netminder Thibaut Courtois, and found its way into the net. Raphinha scored twice for Barca. Lewandowski also found the net in that affair. Vini Jr. and Gonzalo Garcia tallied the goals for Real Madrid in the most recent meeting.
Los Blancos fired manager Xabi Alonso shortly after that loss to their rival. Alonso was replaced by Alvaro Arbeloa, who might be sacked himself in the coming weeks due to Real Madrid’s uninspiring play these past few months.
Real did score a 2-1 victory over Barca on Oct. 26, 2025 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Mbappe and Jude Bellingham scored for Madrid. Fermin Lopez scored for Barca.
If Hansi Flick can manage Barcelona to at least a draw on Sunday, he will become the fourth Barca coach this century to win back-to-back LaLiga championships in his first two seasons at the helm.
Real does still have a slim chance of winning the title itself, but it would take a monumental Barcelona collapse. Madrid trails Barca by 11 points with just four games left.
