Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, La Liga: match, live stream, line ups, predictions and how to watch on TV online

A classic that can define who fights to the end. Because, little by little, Real Madrid and Barcelona were getting closer to the leader Atlético Madrid. Now, the Merengue and the culé team are on the lookout: a misstep by them can drive them away, a misstep by Aleti del Cholo Simeone can catapult them to the top. For this reason, in the Spanish capital, neither those of Zinedine Zidane nor those led by Lionel Messi want to fail. And with televising from ESPN, they will face each other in a new edition of the Spanish derby, which can fire La Liga.

The difference is very small between both teams. Only two points of difference separate them. Barsa is second with 65 points and Merengue third with 63. In this fight for the Spanish League both are behind Atlético de Madrid. Diego Simeone's team leads with 66 units and tomorrow will face Betis as a visitor.

The team led by Ronald Koeman's off to a great start to 2021 by local competition. He won all his matches except for equality against Cádiz at home. The losses of Ansu Fati, Piqué and Coutinho were very well replaced. Looking ahead to this match, a victory would mean getting 6 points, since they would be the ones achieved plus the three that a direct rival would stop adding.

In addition, the question arises as to whether it's the last classic for Lionel Messi, who hasn't yet renewed his contract with the Catalans and his future is a mystery.

On the other side is the Real. Zidane's team also has a great performance in the League with consecutive wins against Elche (2-1), Celta (1-3) and Éibar (2-0). He has Karim Benzema on a streak, since he scored goals in all three games, as well as in the previous draw against Atlético de Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano by 1-1 and on the hour. The Madrid team played last Tuesday the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Liverpool, where they showed a high level of play in the important 3-1 victory.
