It's been some time in coming, but the first El Clásico of this season's La Liga campaign is finally here! And while it's fair to say neither of Barcelona or Real Madrid have so far been at their best this season, they nevertheless find themselves once again at the top of La Liga with little to separate between the two rivals. It's a match with a huge bearing on this year's title race - make sure that you don't miss a moment of the action by reading on to discover how to get a Barcelona vs Real Madrid live stream.
This key La Liga clash takes place at Camp Nou in Barcelona, today (Wednesday, December 18) with kick-off at 8pm CET local time.
So that's a 7pm GMT start in the UK and a 2am ET, 11am PT kick-off in the US, and a 6am AEDT start on Thursday morning for those looking to tune in from Down Under.
Barcelona come into the match having had their seven-match winning streak in all competitions brought to a halt on Saturday by Real Sociedad who held them to a 2-2 draw. Zinedine Zidane's Madrid couldn't capitalise on Barca's slip up however, after only managing a 1-1 draw in Valencia to keep them level on points on 35 but in second spot on account of goal difference.
Ousmane Dembélé and Brazilian midfielder Arthur are both ruled out for Barca through injury with Ivan Rakitic set to retain his place in the starting line up.
Real are set to welcome back Mendy after suspension but Marcelo remains on the wounded list and will miss out.
Barcelona go into the game as favourites with the bookies, perhaps thanks to home advantage and having had an additional day of rest to prepare, but El Clásico matches are anything but predictable and Real will go into the match fancying their chances.
