This will be the fourth El Clasico of the season, with Barcelona having won all three previous encounters — including the Copa del Rey final (3-2 in extra time), the Spanish Super Cup final (5-2), and a commanding 4-0 league victory at the Santiago Bernabeu. Robert Lewandowski, who has 25 goals this season, leads the La Liga scoring charts, followed closely by Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe with 24. Both stars are expected to feature in this crucial encounter.
Historically, the rivalry remains tight with Real Madrid holding 105 wins to Barcelona’s 103 across 260 matches, with 52 draws. Sunday’s clash could not only tilt this record but also shape the fate of the title.
