La Liga's biggest rivals face off once again as Barcelona host Real Madrid at the Camp Nou on Sunday in the 272nd El Clasico.
The Messi/Ronaldo Clasico era may be over with Real's record goalscorer now playing for Juventus and Barca's star man missing out with a broken arm, but Sunday's clash offers plenty of drama elsewhere.
Real's miserable run of form in recent weeks - four losses in their last six games - looked set to cost Julen Lopetegui his job as coach, but Real have confirmed that the former Spain coach will be in charge for Sunday's game at least.
As for La Liga champions Barca, Sunday's match offers a glimpse of life without Messi. The Argentine has been in scintillating form this season, but Barca must learn how to win without their talisman after being bailed out by Messi a number of times already.
