Hello and welcome to another MARCA in English live blog, this time taking you through the biggest game of the 24/25 LaLiga season as Barcelona host Real Madrid.

The stage is set for another thrilling edition of El Clasico as Barcelona hosts Real Madrid at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. With just four points separating the two La Liga powerhouses, this match could be decisive in the title race.

Barcelona currently sits atop the table with 79 points, while Real Madrid follows closely behind with 75. A win for the Catalan side would stretch their lead to seven points, all but ending Madrid's title hopes with only a few games remaining in the season.

Barcelona enters the game with confidence, having convincingly defeated Real Madrid 4-0 earlier this season at the Santiago Bernabeu. One of the standout performers for Barcelona this campaign has been Lamine Yamal, the teenage sensation who continues to impress in attack. With several senior forwards sidelined, Yamal's creativity and composure in front of goal will be essential.

On the other side, Real Madrid is banking on the talents of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior to turn the tide. Mbappe, in his first El Clasico, brings explosive pace and lethal finishing, while Vinícius offers flair and unpredictability on the wing.

However, Real Madrid is significantly weakened in defense, missing key players like Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Ferland Mendy. With such a depleted backline, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will be under immense pressure to keep his side in the game.

Tactically, fans can expect a classic clash of styles. Barcelona's high pressing and intricate passing will go head-to-head with Madrid's trademark counter-attacks. Both sides are known for their attacking prowess, and with so much at stake, the match promises drama and intensity from the first whistle to the last.
