The most glamorous rivalry in soccer has gone Stateside for the second time ever, and Las Vegas is as a fitting location for the clash as any. Barcelona have embarked on yet another summer of lavish spending despite being hundreds of millions of Euros in the red, adding Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha to a squad that was already fit to bursting with attacking talent. Anything but victory would be a bad look for Xavi. Read on as we explain how to watch a Barcelona vs Real Madrid live stream from anywhere in the world - including FREE coverage in some places.

Whereas Barcelona have had two games to prepare for this, Carlo Ancelotti and his men were granted an extended summer break as a reward for Real Madrid's La Liga and Champions League triumphs.
Raphinha scored and laid on two assists on his debut in midweek, a 6-0 thrashing of Inter Miami in which Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Memphis Depay, Ousmane Dembélé, Ansu Fati and Gavi also found the back of the net.
Madrid have strengthened with the signings of top-class center-back Antonio Rüdiger and midfield lynchpin Aurélien Tchouaméni, and they've also recalled playmaker Reinier from a loan spell at Dortmund. Their failure to land Kylian Mbappe from PSG, doubtless, still smarts but will Karim Benzema be looking to prove a point?
