The leadership of the Spanish "La Liga" championship announced the time of the 32nd round matches, so the armies of Real Madrid and Barcelona fans finally learned the exact time of the second "El Clasico" of this season.
The clash of the two strongest Spanish teams at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium will take place on Saturday, April 16, at 23:00 Lithuanian time.
For the past two years, it has been better for the Catalonia club to play here: in the 2008-2009 season, the Madrid team suffered a humiliating 2-6 defeat at home, and in the 2009-2010 season, the 'royal' club had to admit the opponents' superiority with a score of 0-2.
Just four days later, on April 20, "Barcelona" and "Real" will face each other face to face at the Mestalla stadium in Valencia. The final of the King's Cup tournament will take place here.
An interesting fact is that both clubs last won this trophy exactly on this arena: "Barcelona" did it in 2009, "Real" - in 1993.
There is a possibility that a third "El Clasico" could be played in the month of April. This time, both "Primera" giants are vying to settle their differences in the Champions League tournament, with the first semi-final scheduled to be played on April 26 or 27.
However, before that, "Barcelona" and "Real" still need to overcome the quarterfinal barrier. The Catalans need to eliminate Donetsk's "Shakhtar" in further competition, while the team from the Spanish capital needs to face London's "Tottenham".
