The result of Sunday’s El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu will have a huge say on the 2019-20 La Liga title race, and more than just bragging rights is at stake.
League leaders Barca are currently two points ahead of Madrid at the top of the table, and with both sides tied on 72 El Clasico victories each ahead of the 277th meeting between them, a feisty encounter should be expected.
Quique Setien’s side will go five points clear with victory at the capital, but the Barcelona boss has too many injury concerns and a very thin squad to pick his team from.
