The biggest club game in world football takes centre stage this afternoon as Real Madrid host Barcelona in El Clasico.
Madrid head into the clash on top of La Liga, two points ahead of their arch-rivals from Catalonia.
Both sides enjoyed wins in the Champions League in midweek: Madrid edging out Juventus 1-0 and Barca hammering 10-man Olympiacos 6-1.
Barca won all four meetings between the teams last season and Madrid, now under Xabi Alonso, will be itching for revenge.
