Second placed Barcelona come into the match on a run of five straight league victories, a winning streak that has brought life back to their previously floundering title challenge, while also helping to cast aside the bad memories of their recent ignominious exit from the Champions League at the hands of PSG. 

Madrid are also looking resurgent, with Zinedine Zidane’s side themselves on a five-match unbeaten La Liga run. They'll also likely e boosted by their impressive 3-1 win against Liverpool in the home leg of their Champions League quarter-final in midweek.

Having won 3-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season, Madrid will be looking to complete a league double over Barca for the first time since the 2007/08 season. Excited? Read on for how to watch a Real Madrid vs Barcelona live stream on Saturday.


How to watch Real Madrid vs Barcelona from outside your country

Scroll down for all the ways you can watch this clash between these two Spanish footballing rivals online in various countries around the world. But first, you should know that if you're abroad, you probably won't be able to tune in like you normally would at home.

This is because of geo-blocking, a digital restriction that means certain streaming services are only accessible in the region they're based in. Don't sweat it, though, as you've got the option of using a VPN to tune to your preferred coverage wherever you are. 

It's really easy to do, so don't feel you have to miss out because you finally got to take that well-earned holiday - here's how to get started.
