La Liga: Real Madrid, FC Barcelona Set For October Showdown
Central European Time: Spain's La Liga announced on Wednesday the date for this season's first El Clásico between archrivals Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The highly anticipated clash will take place at 16:15 Central European Time (14:15 GMT) on October 26 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
This will be the first match in charge of a Clásico for Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso, who will aim to improve on Carlo Ancelotti's record against Barcelona last season.
In the 2024-25 season, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid four times: winning 4-0 at the Bernabeu and 4-3 at Montjuic in La Liga, as well as triumphing in the Spanish Super Cup final with a 5-2 victory in Saudi Arabia, and winning the Copa del Rey final 3-2 in Seville, with Jules Kounde scoring the winning goal in the 116th minute.
