Barcelona and Real Madrid now know when they will face off in the league at the Camp Nou. The game will take place on Sunday 19th March at 21:00 CET.
The news comes after La Liga revealed the dates and kick-off times for all the matches that weekend. The opening match sees Valladolid take on Athletic Bilbao on Friday 17th March while the matchday ends with 'El Clasico'. There is no Monday night clash due to the international break while Atletico Madrid host Valencia on Saturday 18th March at 21:00 CET in another standout clash.
Barca's game with Madrid will be their fourth meeting of the season. The clubs faced off at the Bernabeu and 'Los Blancos' won 3-1 while Barcelona won by the same scoreline in the Spanish Super Cup in January. Before the league meeting, the teams will play each in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg at the Bernabeu on 2nd March. The return at the Camp Nou will be played on 5th April.
The game could be key to deciding the league title as Barcelona are top with 56 points and have a game in hand on second placed Real Madrid, who have 51 points.
