El Clásico is a frequent event for the next 35 days with the latest coverage details from ESPN. During a span of a month, Real Madrid and Barcelona battle it out as the two best teams in Spain. Two of those matches are in the Copa del Rey semifinals, over two games. Between those two is the second league match of the season.
That starts on Thursday with the first leg of the Copa del Rey at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The classic
This is the third of five meetings between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Each team has a victory in this season’s editions of the historic derby. Real Madrid won the first duel, 3-1 at home in a league game. The second time they met was in Riyadh for the Spanish Super Cup. That too was a 3-1 score. However, that one went to Barcelona.
This game at the Santiago Bernabéu could define a trophy, something these two will be familiar with in terms of competing against each other. There is a second leg in a month. However, going into the reverse encounter with an advantage can dictate how the second game plays out.
