Barcelona currently sit four points clear of Los Blancos and a win in El Clasico would take them within touching distance of the La Liga 2024-25 title. Barca have dominated Madrid this season, beating them 4-0 at the Bernabeu earlier in the league, 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup Final in Riyadh, and 3-2 at La Cartuja in the Copa del Rey Final.
