Broadcast info
Who's playing? In a matchup that need no introduction, Real Madrid and Barcelona fight each other once again to become La Liga's champion. Los Blancos have a three point advantage over Luis Enrique's men, who for the first time in years, enter this game as the proverbial victims. This will be the first El Clásico held in the Spanish capital since a 4-0 blowout back in November 2015, and with that in mind, Zidane's men will surely try to avenge that defeat while thumping their bitter rivals out of the title race.
What time? Sunday, April 23, at 11:45 PT/ 13:45 CT/ 14:45 ET/ 18:45 GMT/ 19:45 BST/ 20:45 CEST
What stadium? Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid's home, will be the venue hosting this match. A sellout crowd of 81,000 fans is expected to witness one of the most heated showdowns in recent history between these sides.

Team news
Real Madrid gets to this game in high spirits after beating Bayern Munich in a thrilling UEFA Champions League matchup that needed extra time to see a team go through. Coach Zinedine Zidane will hope that fatigue is not an issue on Sunday, as he will have to start with almost the same team that faced Die Roten. Pepe and Raphael Varane are out due to injury, while Gareth Bale seems to hav recovered from a calf injury, which will clear him to play on Sunday.
On the other side, things at Can Barça are more complicated than initially expected. Los Blaugranas weren't able to overturn a three-goal deficit against Juventus, earning an early exit from the UEFA Champions League for the second year in a row. Barcelona can't allow their title chances to slip away, and in order to keep them alive, they'll have to beat Real Madrid without Arda Turan, Aleix Vidal, Rafinha and Neymar, who's appeal is yet to be heard by the Court of Arbitrage in Sports (CAS).
