Not too many, arguably no, fixture counts as much in the European football calendar as much as the El Gran Clasico. Real Madrid taking on FC Barcelona. The top two teams in Spain, as they are in the La Liga points table. Level on points with Barcelona edging their arch rivals on goal difference. And so, with less than 10 games done in the season so far, the 90 odd minutes at the Santiago Bernanbeu today would weigh a lot in terms of the overall title race. The defending champions (and the European Champions) are not just the hosts but the favorites, but they won't have to be reminded what Xavi-ball led to the last time these two met in the league. With a Champions League group stage exit looming big, Barcelona would be eyeing a revival of sorts to their season. Hang on folks, this should be fun.
