Both sides have had a mixed start so far in 2020-21 season. The pair lost the final league games, with Real Madrid succumbing to a 1-0 home loss to Cadiz while Getafe edged past Barcelona by the same scoreline.
However, Barca had a good start in the Champions League after brushing Ferencvaros aside 5-1, putting them in the driving seat in Group G of the *Champions League. While Real Madrid suffered a shocking 3-2 defeat to COVID-impacted Shakhtar Donetsk.
This will be the first El Clasico without the fans in the stadium due to the pandemic.
Who are you rooting for? Being a die-hard Messi fan, my biased support goes to FC Barcelona.
Real Madrid, having played a game more, sit third in LaLiga, one point, and two places, behind league leaders Real Sociedad. While Barca sit 10th on the table having played one game less than Real Madrid. They’ll be looking to close the gap between themselves and Real Madrid and potentially closer to top the table.

He’s 17. He’s scored in El Clasico. The future is bright
Neither Lionel Messi, nor Philippe Coutinho, nor Antoine Griezmann, nor Ousmane Dembélé. The FC Barcelona footballer with the most goals (5) at the start of the season is Ansu Fati. Today he scored in his first Clásico de España as a starter. SPECIAL TALENT.
