Barcelona – Real Madrid: Who benefited from the postponement of the match for 53 days

Today’s El Clasico was originally scheduled to take place on October 26, but political protests on the streets of Barcelona caused the game to be postponed to 8pm tonight.

The biggest stadium in Europe, the Camp Nou, will be tonight the scene of one of the most fascinating clashes in the world of football – El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid, to kick off at 8pm.

The two teams are now up 35 points at the top of the La Liga table, but Barcelona are still in the lead due to a difference in goals.

In terms of form, Barcelona had had a better run of results before 26 October, having won their last six games – the best of the Catalans so far this season.

As for Real Madrid, they had achieved three wins, two draws and one defeat before October 26, and are now performing better, taking four wins and two draws from their last six games.
