3' Early attack from Los Blancos, and it is Brahim Diaz driving through the midfield, before finding Vinicius Jr. The Brazilian cuts in and takes a shot, but not with enough venom.

We are LIVE! El Clasico is underway at the Camp Nou. Real Madrid are attacking from right to left, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois hoofs one up the field early. However, Barcelona win the ball back in a midfield scrap.

No team has EVER won the La Liga title on an El Clasico, but Barcelona have the chance to do exactly that. Huge, huge pressure on Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham and co., as they enter a roaring Camp Nou. 

It's time for action! Gear up, folks!

We are just about 10 minutes away from kick-off at the majestic Camp Nou in Barcelona. An El Clasico with the La Liga title on the line. 2 sides depleted by injuries, but the stakes could not be higher and the storylines could not be more dramatic.

Tonight could be Alvaro Arbeloa's last 'big' game in charge of Real Madrid. He has fared hot and cold in the blockbuster matches, beating the likes of Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, but losing to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Today's result could play a huge role in how Arbeloa is remembered by the Real Madrid faithful, if he is not retained as head coach after the season ends.

Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe, 2 of the best players in the world, are not going to be in action today. Yamal has suffered a season-ending hamstring injury, and is in a race against time to get fit for the FIFA World Cup in June. On the other hand, Mbappe failed to recover in time for the match, amid increasing criticism from fans over his performances.

Real Madrid need to shake off all the drama that encapsulated the club during the week. Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni were disciplined after being involved in a training ground bust-up, leaving Valverde with a traumatic head injury. Tchouameni is playing tonight, though.

Further unconfirmed reports suggested that Antonio Rudiger and Alvaro Carreras also clashed, while club captain Dani Carvajal and manager Alvaro Arbeloa are reportedly not on good terms.

Real Madrid starting XI vs Barcelona: Gonzalo Garcia starts up front with Vinicius Jr and Brahim Diaz. Fran Garcia gets the nod at left-back over Alvaro Carreras. Big responsibity also on the shoulders of Jude Bellingham.

Barcelona starting XI vs Real Madrid: Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha are on the BENCH. It is a frontline of Ferran Torres, Marcus Rashford and Fermin Lopez, with Dani Olmo behind them. An attacking midfield duo of Pedri and Gavi. Looks to be all-out attack from the Blaugrana!

For Real Madrid, it is an equally big game. La Liga may be a foregone conclusion, but Los Blancos still have a chance to avoid their bitter rivals from winning it against them. After a hectic week where they have grabbed headlines for all the wrong reasons, nothing would help Alvaro Arbeloa and co. than a victory.

It could be a memorable night for Barcelona. They are 11 points ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga, with 4 games to go. Victory over their biggest rivals tonight would seal La Liga for the second time in a row. It could not get bigger for Hansi Flick's side.

Hello and welcome to NDTV Sports. It's time for the biggest game in football: El Clasico! Barcelona take on Real Madrid on a night that could decide the La Liga title. Stay tuned for all the live updates from the match!
