The Clásico Between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, scheduled for matchday 35 of LaLiga, now has a date and time.
LaLiga has announced through Movistar the new schedule and the date of the clash that could prove decisive just three matchdays before the end of the championship.
A Clásico That Could Decide the Title
With Barça leading the standings as of today, and Real Madrid hot on their heels, this duel on matchday 35 could be crucial in determining the champion of the season. Before the clash, both teams will play three matches each.
The team led by Hansi Flick has maintained a streak of 24 matches without losing in all competitions and hasn't known defeat so far in 2025. Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti's team clings to their chances, hoping for a slip-up from the blaugrana to close the gap and keep their title hopes alive.
A Schedule Designed for the Chinese Market
The match will be played at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc, as the remodeling works at Camp Nou have not yet concluded. Laporta had hoped to play this Clásico at Camp Nou, but will have to wait until next season.
The current conditions make that option unfeasible. President Laporta and the board have worked to accelerate the timelines, but the return to Camp Nou will have to wait until next season.
The date and time of the match are confirmed: Sunday, May 11, at 4:10 p.m. This prime time has been chosen to facilitate the Asian market's viewing of the match on TV at a reasonable hour.
Barça Could Celebrate the Title After the Clásico
Tickets for the Clásico are already available on various platforms, with prices reaching up to 595 euros. A large crowd is expected in Montjuïc, where fans of both teams will experience a day full of emotions and soccer passion.
With both teams in top form and much at stake, this Clásico promises to be an unforgettable spectacle that could define the fate of LaLiga 2024-2025.
If FC Barcelona were to win all three matches before the Clásico and Real Madrid were to draw, the Clásico would be approached with a six-point difference. If it ended with a Catalan victory, it would mean that Barça could celebrate the title against Real Madrid.
