Barcelona welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou for the first Clasico of the 2026/27 season.
Hansi Flick's reigning La Liga champions have been in scintillating form so far this season, winning nine out of nine in Spain's top flight.
They had their momentum checked in midweek, losing a Champions League thriller 4-2 at Paris Saint-Germain, but they are still six points better off than their bitter rivals Madrid domestically.
