Real Madrid host Barcelona in El Clasico on Sunday night as they look to return to the summit of La Liga at the expense of the Catalans.
Los Blancos surrendered the lead at the top with a shock 1-0 defeat away at Levante, just a few hours after Lionel Messi had inspired La Blaugrana to a 5-0 win over Eibar at Camp Nou.
Both sides were in Champions League action in the week as well, with Quique Setien’s men faring the better…just about. Barça managed to secure a 1-1 draw away in Naples against Gennaro Gattuso’s stubborn Napoli side while Zinedine Zidane’s side succumbed to a 2-1 home defeat to a superior Manchestter City team.
Nevertheless, with the lack of superstars on display combined with the implications Sunday’s clash has on the title race, the upcoming edition of El Clasico is set to be one of the most intriguing in recent memory.
