Top of La Liga since mid-November, Real Madrid have won 14 of their previous 18 league games and are 10 points clear of their nearest rivals Sevilla. Carlo Ancelotti's Blancos may not looking the most daunting prospect on paper but have the unerring gift of winning football matches. Vinicius Junior has risen the challenge as Benzema's chief support this season, with the ever-reliable Luka Modric a metronome in midfield. Eder Militao has also found his best form at centre-back.

Barcelona are unrecognisable from the turgid, stodgy mess which sat in ninth place when Ronald Koeman got his marching orders in late-October. Under returning club icon Xavi, los Cules have surged into third place and are five points behind Sevilla in second with a game in hand after picking up 16 of the last 18 available in La Liga. Barça reached the last eight of the Europa League on Thursday with an impressive 2-1 win at Galatasaray thanks to goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (his seventh since joining from Arsenal in January) and a sumptuous solo strike from Pedri, Xavi's heir apparent in central midfield.

Make sure you know how to watch a Real Madrid vs Barcelona live stream from anywhere – and for free in some places. The match kicks off at 8pm GMT at the Santiago Bernabeu tonight, Sunday 20th March 2022.
