Watch Barcelona Vs. Real Madrid El Clasico Live Stream: Start Time, Team News, How To Watch Online
The two giants of Spain’s La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid, square off for the 238th “El Clasico” showdown on Sunday in a game that will live stream from the Camp Nou, but though — unlike so many of their confrontations — this matchup has no implications for a league or cup title, there is still history on the line. Barcelona needs to win or draw their final four La Liga fixtures to go down as the first team in Spanish domestic history to finish a full season without a single loss.
For Real Madrid, who sit five points behind crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid on the La Liga table, appear all but assured of a third-place finish — but Los Blancos have never lost at Camp Nou with Sergio Ramos as their captain, winning their last three El Clasico games at Camp Nou.
Real Madrid lost their first La Liga meeting against arch-rival Barcelona in the 2017-2018 season, so another loss would make them the first Los Blancos side since 2014 to fall twice to Barcelona in a single La Liga season.

The bitter feelings between the two teams surfaced days before the match, as Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane said that he did not expect his players to perform a “Guard of Honor,” for Barcelona, who wrapped up the La Liga title last weekend with a 4-2 victory over Deportivo. The Guard of Honor is a traditional form of congratulations often offered to a team that has recently won a major title.
But Zidane blames Barcelona for breaking the tradition when they failed to offer a Guard of Honor to Real Madrid after Los Blancos won the Club World Cup tournament a year ago.
“It is my decision and that is it. I don’t understand the guard of honor and it won’t take place, although we are far from the end of the season,” the Real Madrid manager said on Saturday. “Barcelona broke the tradition.”
Barcelona appears to enter the match with a fully healthy starting XI, though superstar Andres Iniesta is nursing a calf strain. But with Iniesta planning to leave Barcelona after the season and therefore playing in his final El Clasico, it appears unlikely that the 33-year-old will miss the game.
Real Madrid will be without Dani Carvajal, Isco, and Raphaël Varane due to injury. Gareth Bale is not expected to make the starting XI, though the reason why he might miss the match remains unclear.
Will Barcelona take one more step toward finishing undefeated on the 2017-2018 La Liga season? Or will Real Madrid be the club to stop their traditional rivals’ march toward history? To find out, watch a live stream via BeIn Sports in the United States, or Sky Sports Go in the United Kingdom.
