The official line-up for the Clásico: a big surprise from Mourinho!

All eyes are on the starting line-ups of Real Madrid and Barcelona in Sunday evening's Clasico at the Spotify Camp Nou. Both sides want to settle one of the standout showdowns of the La Liga season.

Real Madrid go into the encounter with Kylian Mbappe leading the attack. Andriy Lunin covers for the absence of Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who is down with flu, while Federico Valverde takes charge of the right flank. Mourinho then surprised everyone by handing a start to Bernardo Silva ahead of Camavinga.
