Fireworks will fly at the Bernabeu on Saturday night, when El Clasico foes Real Madrid and Barcelona lock horns in the latest episode of this mouthwatering rivalry.

A victory for Hansi Flick's in-form troops would see them open up a six-point lead over the reigning champions at the top of the La Liga table, and the jewel in the Real crown - Kylian Mbappe - will be experiencing his first taste of the fierce derby this weekend.
