Barcelona and Real Madrid will play on Saturday, October 28, in the first classic match of the season. The match will take place in Montjuïc at 4:15pm and can be watched on DAZN TV.
The meeting comes in a very close classification. Ancelotti’s team leads the standings with 25 points, the same as Girona, and Barcelona is only one point away. Third, but with the possibility of overtaking Madrid and becoming the leader with the permission of Michel’s team.
The Blaugrana will play its third consecutive match at home, and Xavi hopes to recover from some injuries. Against Shakhtar, Xavi was still without Koundé, Sergi Roberto, Pedri, De Jong, Rafinha and Lewandowski. Six victims were added to Javi, who was suspended in the Champions League.
The young player is scheduled to start on Saturday, while Lewy and Rafinha have the best chance of being in the Clásico squad, although nothing has been confirmed. However, it is clear that they will arrive without filming and therefore with very few options as a starter.

The classic bout will arrive preceded by ambient buzz associated with the referees, with Negreira’s case still up in the air. “I don’t like referees to be conditional,” Xavi Hernandez recalled, in the last few hours, when asked if there was a lot of talk about arbitration.
