Barcelona and Real Madrid faced each other twice this season
Barcelona and Real Madrid have been archrivals since their inception and clash against each other at least twice every season in LaLiga. In the current season, they have faced each other in two El Clasicos as of writing.
Real Madrid faced their Catalan rivals for the first time this season in October last year at the Santiago Bernabeu. Barca thrashed them 4-0 in the LaLiga clash, ending their 42-game-unbeaten strike in the league.
The two rivals clashed once again in the Supercopa de España final in January, where La Blaugrana beat Real Madrid 5-2. This marked the Catalans' first trophy under coach Hansi Flick, who took over the helm from former manager Xavi in the summer of 2024. The silverware came after their trophyless 2023-24 campaign.
The next El Clásico is scheduled to take place in May 2024 in LaLiga. However, Los Blancos could face Barca in the Copa del Rey finals, if both go past the semi-finals. There is also a chance of them clashing in the UEFA Champions League final if both teams qualify for the stage. As of writing, both teams are set to play the quarter-finals.
