For some viewers, El Clasico is all about their obsession with the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi - will one outshine the other, or will another player steal center stage? For others who have supported Barcelona or Real Madrid long before the star duo's arrival - and will do so after their eventual retirement or departure - their bigger focus is on who will top La Liga and be able to head into the office on Monday full of bragging rights.
And finally, for those of us who are not rabid La Liga fans but still casually watch Spanish football, this is the one match to obviously not miss, especially given the star quality and class of the players who will be taking to the pitch on Saturday.
As things stand, El Clasico could not have come at a better time. Real Madrid, who will be hosting the game, currently sit in second place after losing their last fixture before the international break. However, with a +19 goal advantage, Rafa Benitez's men could re-claim top spot should they beat the Blaugrana on Saturday, but they will be coming into this match with concerns about some of their key players, including French star Karim Benzema, who has scored six for Real so far.
Meanwhile, reigning La Liga champions Barcelona had their stumbles at various points this season, but Luis Enrique's troops have recovered well to sit on top of the league with 27 points. Many Barcelona fans had feared that the absence of talismanic attacker Messi would scupper their title hopes, but rather, it has given the other two members of "MSN" - Luis Suarez and Neymar - a chance to shine. Between the Uruguayan and the Brazilian, they have netted an impressive 20 goals and are first and second in the goalscoring charts with 11 and nine respectively.
No Messi, no problem: Suarez and Neymar have scored 80 per cent of their team's 25 goals so far
