La Liga 2024-25: El Clasico Highlights Weekend Action In Spain As Real Hope To Build On Lead
The El Clasico: The El Clasico clash between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is the highlight of this weekend's La Liga action, as league leaders Real Madrid aim to protect their three-point lead at the top of the table at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Saturday. Real Madrid enter the match fresh from a 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. They have the advantage of an extra 24 hours to prepare compared to Barca, who defeated Bayern Munich 4-1 on Wednesday night.
Madrid, however, suffered a double injury setback on Tuesday, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois sidelined due to a groin injury and forward Rodrygo out with a hamstring strain, reports Xinhua. Barcelona have no new injury concerns following their Wednesday match but will be without the defensive trio of Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, and Eric Garcia. Fit-again Gavi is expected to play a role in the game.
The weekend kicks off on Friday night, with Sevilla looking to recover from their 5-1 loss to Barcelona last weekend. Francisco Garcia Pimienta's side travels back to Barcelona to face Espanyol, who themselves were beaten 4-1 in Bilbao.
