Barcelona-Real Madrid: Why this is biggest Clásico in years

Related Topics: FC Barcelona, Real Madrid

El Clásico is always a huge deal, one of the most-viewed matches around the world in any season. But with Barcelona and Real Madrid meeting so late in the season with the LaLiga title still on the line, this is one of the biggest in years.

When these two giants meet at Barcelona's Olympic Stadium on Sunday (stream LIVE at 10:15 a.m. ET on ESPN+), they do so as the only two teams left who can become champions of Spain for 2024-25. If winning the title itself is not sufficient motivation for stars such as Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé, then the alternative -- losing out to their own club's bitter rivals -- is unthinkable.
