Clasico Date Confirmed As Barcelona To Face Real Madrid On April 2nd
La Liga has announced Barcelona and Real Madrid will face each other on April 2, three days before the Champions League quarterfinals.
Barcelona and Real Madrid will meet in the second Clasico of the season on Sat. April, 2 at Camp Nou.
La Liga has confirmed its schedule for matchday 31, with the two rivals to meet at 8:30 p.m. local time.
The fixture comes immediately after the international break, during which Spain will play friendlies against Italy and Romania, and three days before the first scheduled Champions League quarterfinals.
Barca and Madrid are expected to progress to the last eight, having recorded 2-0 away wins in the first legs of their round-of-16 ties against Arsenal and Roma respectively.
In November's meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu, Barcelona won 4-0 in dominant display away from home that helped to bring about the end of Rafael Benitez's brief tenure as Madrid coach.
Luis Enrique's side is top after 26 matches of the Liga season, 12 points clear of third-placed Madrid.
