Betting Preview
Barcelona head into Sunday’s El Clásico after a dramatic Champions League semi-final exit to Inter Milan, losing 7-6 on aggregate despite leading late in the second leg. Heartbreak aside, Hansi Flick’s side can still cap off a strong season – they’ve already won the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey, and sit four points clear at the top of LaLiga.

Victory over Real Madrid would all but seal the title, while a draw keeps them in control with three games left. Barcelona have already beaten Madrid three times this season, including a dominant 4-0 win at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid, eliminated from Europe by Arsenal and beaten by Barça in two domestic finals, must win to keep their title hopes alive. With a full week’s rest and four straight league wins behind them, they’re coming in fresh, but anything less than three points could end their campaign in disappointment.
