When is the next El Clasico? The dates of Real Madrid vs Barcelona 2020-21 fixtures
The 2020-21 La Liga season has ushered in a new era for Barcelona, after the ructions associated with the news that talisman Lionel Messi wanted to leave.
He stayed, but it is fair to say that the Catalan side has undergone some hardship in recent seasons, with a failure to pick up a single title in the 2019-20 season and continued faltering in the Champions League.
Real Madrid are defending their Liga title under Zinedine Zidane and Spain's showpiece fixture inevitably promises to be one of the most highly anticipated match-ups in football.
