Barça-Real Madrid League match guide: time, where to watch it and line-ups
The Barça players can deliver the definitive blow to the white team with the achievement of the league
BarcelonaThe most anticipated match of the season arrives at Camp Nou. Barça hosts Real Madrid in what could be a celebration for Barcelonism. After the surreal week experienced in Valdebebas — with the fight between Tchouaméni and Fede Valverde — Hansi Flick's team can deliver the decisive blow on Sunday from 9 p.m. If the blaugranas do not lose, they will be mathematically crowned league champions with three matchdays still to play.
Barça arrives in good form after ten consecutive league victories, while Madrid won 0-2 at Espanyol's ground. Previously, Arbeloa's men had strung together a loss (Mallorca), two draws (Girona and Betis), and a win (Alavés) in the domestic competition, in addition to their Champions League elimination at the hands of Bayern Munich (6-4 aggregate).
Hansi Flick has the absences of Andreas Christensen and Lamine Yamal, while Álvaro Arbeloa will not be able to count on Dani Carvajal, Militao, Mendy, Arda Güler, Rodrygo, or Fede Valverde, who will be out for two weeks due to a head trauma resulting from the fight with Tchouaméni. Furthermore, Ceballos will also not travel to Barcelona by technical decision, while Mbappé is a doubt. The good news for Real Madrid is that they are recovering Courtois.
