Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have announced their starting line-ups for tonight’s El Clasico.
The two Spanish giants meet each other in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey, with the first leg taking place at Santiago Bernabeu.
It’s also a clash between the top two sides in LaLiga, with Barca sitting seven points ahead of Real.
However, the Blaugrana will be out for redemption after losing 1-0 to Almeria on the weekend and being eliminated by Manchester United from the UEFA Europa League last week.
Real, meanwhile, dropped points in the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid, but won their previous five matches.
Both teams already met in the Supercopa de Espana final when Xavi Hernandez’s side beat Carlo Ancelotti 3-1.
However, Los Blancos won the LaLiga Clasico earlier in the campaign 3-1, which was the first defeat of Barca in the 2022/23 campaign.
