La Liga release fixture details for Kylian Mbappe and Hansi Flick’s first El Clasico

Because of their respective starts to the season, the first Clasico of the season between Real Madrid and Barcelona is an eagerly-anticipated event. The showdown fixture takes place on the final weekend of October, and the exact details are now known.

As revealed by MD, La Liga have set El Clasico – which will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu – for Saturday, the 26th of October. Typically, the first match-up of the season has been played at an earlier time to favour the audience in Asia, but on this occasion, it will be the last match of the day.

It will be a very interesting spectacle on the 26th of October. Barcelona have started the season brilliantly under new manager Hansi Flick, having won six from six in La Liga. However, Real Madrid will be aiming to stop them in their tracks by then, and Kylian Mbappe will be eyeing up a big impact in his first experience of El Clasico.
