Jose Mourinho's first El Clasico as Real Madrid manager ended in a 5-0 defeat at Barcelona on 29 November 2010, ahead of another meeting on 25 October.

Real Madrid went into the Clásico on 25 October unhappy with the appointments of Juan Martinez Munuera as referee and Javier Iglesias Villanueva on VAR.

Jorge Valdano said Barcelona are clear favourites for the 25 October Clasico and said the Negreira case should already have been settled.

Before Sunday's Clasico, Jose Mourinho said comparing Real Madrid with Barcelona is unfair and insisted the match will not define his team.

GOAL says Lamine Yamal is preparing to face Real Madrid at Camp Nou for the first time there, with Barcelona six points behind.

GOAL, citing Mundo Deportivo, said Jude Bellingham is gradually regaining influence before the Clásico after mixed club form since the international break.

Former Barcelona youth coach Pau Moral said Xavi Espart can cope with Yan Diomande in Sunday's Clasico at Spotify Camp Nou.

GOAL reported that Enzo Alves could move closer to Real Madrid's first team after signing his first professional contract in January.
