Real Madrid vs Barcelona: El Clasico kick off time, prediction, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results today

Jonathan Gorrie16 October 2022

Real Madrid face Barcelona today in a high-stakes El Clasico contest in the Spanish capital.

On the domestic front at least, Barca’s risky summer spend appears to have worked out so far, with Xavi’s side keeping the pace with the European champions at the summit.

Still, their draw with Inter Milan during the week was a crushing one, leaving them all-but out of the Champions League and drawing questions over whether or not Xavi is the right manager to knit this team together successfully.

Madrid, meanwhile, claimed a dramatic draw against Shakhtar Donetsk and may not have blown anybody away yet, but certainly know how to manage big games.

With both sides unbeaten in LaLiga thus far, any victor would be making a big statement with three points this afternoon.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Real Madrid vs Barcelona is scheduled for a 3.15pm BST kick-off time on Sunday October 16, 2022.

The Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid will host the game.
