Real Madrid vs Barcelona - La Liga: Live score, team news and updates from El Clasico as Carlo Ancelott's side look to take a massive step towards claiming league title

We are just 10 minutes away from kick off in Spain and you will be able to follow every key moment from the game with us right here.

We'll also have expert analysis to bring you after the match as well so stick with us through what hopefully promises to be a firestarter of an El Clasico.

Both teams are almost finished with their pre-match warm-ups as we edge closer towards kick off in Spain.

The atmosphere is really building and the Madrid players are soaking in the appreciation of their supporters while going through their drills.

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid endured tough midweek matches in the Champions League - but with totally different outcomes that could have an affect on today.

The visitors were eliminated from the competition in brutal fashion by Paris Saint-Germain, while Madrid eliminated holders Man City on penalties in Manchester.

Barcelona's players didn't have to play the extra 30 minutes and then some that Madrid did, but you expet the hosts will still be riding a wave after their quarter-final win.

Real Madrid celebrated a 2-1 away win in the reverse fixture earlier in the season but come up against a Barcelona side that have vastly improved since the turn of the year.

Jude Bellingham scored twice on that day back in October and the Madrid star will be desperate to get on the scoresheet again today in what is going to be a seriously lively Santiago Bernabeu.

Essentially, a win for Real Madrid today will see them move virtually out of the reaches of Barcelona.

Carlo Ancelotti's side are already eight points clear at the top of the table after seeing off Girona's early-season run and will move 11 clear today if they beat Barcelona.

Xavi's travelling Catalans need to win to keep the pressure on Madrid and anything but three points won't do much for their title cause.

The players have arrived in the Spanish capital and while it may be somewhat quiet in the stadium now, things will be the opposite as we get closer to kick off.

This is the biggest game of the LaLiga calendar and while Madrid are favourites coming into the game, past results have shown that this is one fixture that often doesn't go by the pre-match predictions.

Hello and thanks for joining us on this fine Sunday evening for the second LaLiga El Classico of the season as Real Madrid welcome arch rivals Barcelona to the stunning Santiago Bernabeu!

Kick-off is at 8pm and we have plenty to get through before then!
