Real Madrid face Barcelona in what will be the last El Clasico of the 2021/22 season on Monday. Real Madrid currently top the points table, 10 points ahead of Sevilla and 15 ahead of Barcelona, who have played a game less. Barcelona are undergoing a revival under head coach Xavi, who had replaced Ronald Koeman at the helm after a sluggish start to the season, which also saw them bow out of the Champions League in group stages. Real Madrid, on the other hand, have been by far the best team in the division, but have also had their fair share of struggles so far in the season. Los Blancos, however, will be without the services of star striker Karim Benzema, who had picked up an injury during last week's win away at Mallorca.
Muchos hogares se paralizarán este domingo a las 21:00 horas. El Real Madrid recibe al Barcelona en uno de los encuentros más seguidos del planeta, una de las rivalidades más marcadas del fútbol. Quizá no sea el más decisivo de los últimos tiempos, pues los blancos tienen media Liga en el zurrón (diez puntos sobre el Sevilla, 15 sobre los azulgrana, aunque con un partido más), pero nadie duda que durante los noventa minutos que dure el enfrentamiento. Nadie pensará en clasificaciones, en pasado o en futuro. Solo importará el presente en un choque con cuya nomenclatura nadie duda: El Clásico. Sin embargo, un Madrid-Barça no siempre fue conocido así. Antes, el clásico, como significado del duelo más importante de un país, era otro.
