Date and Timing Set for First Clasico of the Season: Real Madrid vs. Barcelona
Real Madrid and Barcelona’s First Clasico of the Season: Date and Timing Confirmed
The eagerly awaited first Clasico of the season between Real Madrid and Barcelona appears to have a date and time slot allocated, with the match scheduled for Saturday, October 28th, at 16:15 CEST. The venue for this showdown will be the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys at Montjuic.
This timing presents an intriguing schedule for viewers around the world. The late kick-off will cater to fans in China and South-East Asia, while those in Latin America and the USA will have the opportunity to watch the match in the morning. However, fans in the United Kingdom might face challenges, as the game could clash with the 3 pm blackout law.
One of the factors influencing the timing decision is a Miguel Rios concert at Palau Sant Jordi, which is scheduled for the same day and is located in the same area. Authorities are keen to ensure that fans attending both events can do so without disruptions.
Barcelona has a busy schedule leading up to the Clasico, including a home match against Athletic Club the weekend before and a Champions League encounter with Shakhtar Donetsk the previous Wednesday. Following the Clasico, they will travel to face Real Sociedad.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, will be engaged in a Champions League clash against Braga on the preceding Tuesday and an away fixture against Sevilla the weekend before the Clasico. They will return to the Santiago Bernabeu to host Valencia in the weekend following the much-anticipated showdown.
