Real Madrid and Barcelona are set to face off in the highly anticipated Clasico at the Bernabéu on April 21 at 9 p.m. local time (3 p.m. E.T.), as announced by LaLiga president Javier Tebas. The upcoming match holds significant importance as leaders Madrid currently hold a five-point lead over second-place Barça in the LaLiga standings, with Carlo Ancelotti's squad aiming to maintain the title in the Spanish capital.
This will mark the third encounter between the two football giants this season, with Madrid emerging victorious in both previous meetings. The first clash took place in October, resulting in a thrilling 2-1 win for Madrid, with Clasico debutant Jude Bellingham scoring a second-half brace. The teams met again in January during the Spanish Supercopa held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Madrid secured a convincing 4-1 victory.
