Big showdown on Sunday evening: FC Barcelona meets Real Madrid in the El Clásico. There may be a championship celebration after the game.
Can the Spanish championship no longer be taken away from FC Barcelona after Sunday evening? That will become clear in the Clásico. Because from 9 p.m. FC Barcelona welcomes their big rivals Real Madrid.
Four game days before the end of the season, Barça is eleven points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid. The championship seems to be only a matter of time. One thing is clear before the game: If Real doesn’t win against their big rivals, then German coach Hansi Flick’s team will be Spanish champions. In order to prevent the championship celebration, Real would have to win.
8th minute – GOAL for FC Barcelona! After a foul by German national player Antonio Rüdiger, the home team receive a free kick from 18 meters in the half-right position. Rashford grabs the ball and hits it into the top left corner. This is extra class!
5th minute – There is the first half chance. Barca’s Fermin asserts himself strongly from the outside and plays the ball into the middle, where Marcus Rashford narrowly misses.
4th minute – The game is running and it starts straight away without scanning. Both teams won’t give anything away here today.
21.05 – The teams have arrived and we’re about to start. Before kick-off there was a minute’s silence in memory of Hansi Flick’s father. Hans Flick died on Sunday.
