Match Facts:
Real Madrid (2nd, 24 points):
- This match means much more than three points for both teams but, this time, that premise is double for the Whites, who in the final matchday, before the international break, fell 3-2 at the Sanchez Pizjuan. Back to win and do it against Barca is one of the targets of the season.

- One of the strengths of Real Madrid will be the players that are already recovering. Rafa Benitez has James Rodriguez, Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos back in the team, three key pieces that can give strength and control to a team that will seek the joy of the three points before its fans.
- This is the first El Clásico without Iker Casillas and Xavi Hernandez since the 1999-2000 season. What is new is that for the first time in the last seven seasons two Spanish managers are facing from the benches.
FC Barcelona (1st, 27 points):
- Equality is a common link in recent #ElClasico matches. Three wins for Whites and three for the Catalans are the results of a clash that this Saturday will live another of his thrilling chapters.

- The best kept secret of the match is if Leo Messi will fill his boots and jump to the Santiago Bernabeu or if finally he will live the game from the bench. The Argentine, who has scored 21 goals in 30 games against Real Madrid, 16 of them in the capital, is wrapped up in cotton wool until the last moment.
