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.

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.
