How to watch Barcelona vs Real Madrid: TV channel and live stream for El Clasico today

And they are certainly the favourites coming into the tie. They have lost just one of their last 15 matches, and also got the better of Real when these two sides met last.

That came in the Supercopa, a fixture which ended 3-2 in Barcelona’s favour thanks to Raphinha’s late strike, which came before Frenkie de Jong was dismissed in injury time.

Real Madrid have their work cut out for them if they are to delay Barcelona’s title celebrations here. They have been all over the press this week, for all the wrong reasons.

Alvaro Arbeloa is set to be relieved of his duties with Los Blancos staring down the barrel of a trophyless season – Jose Mourinho is being lined up as his successor – and tensions are rising within the squad.

Kylian Mbappe is reportedly causing rifts and a fan petition calling for him to leave the club has garnered millions of signatures. Elsewhere, Federico Valverde was hospitalised after a physical altercation with Aurelien Tchouameni, for which both parties were fined €500,000.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Premier Sports 1, with coverage starting at 7.30pm BST ahead of an 8pm kick-off.

Live stream: Premier Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Premier Sports website.
