Originally scheduled for October 26, this El-Clasico had to be shifted on account of the unrest in Catalonia.
Even now, the situation is not entirely settled politically, which necessitated the call by some interest groups to have the match in Madrid and the first leg later when political tension would have reasonably normalised in Catalonia.
Both sides go into this clash level at the top of the table having collected 35 points from 16 matches with the Catalans, however, having goal difference advantage.
Have a blessed day, all!
