In fact Saturday night's match is the final league game of the season in which Barcelona and Real Madrid are meeting - and the match will decide the league in either favour.
A win for Real Madrid means they’re up four points on Barcelona and can afford to lose another game before the season is out. A win for Barcelona means they only trail by one point, and will still have to hope that Real Madrid lose or draw one more game so that they can win down the stretch.
If Barcelona lose on Saturday, they’ll have to hope they can beat Chelsea and advance on to the final against Madrid - but that is long thinking, won't you agree?
On the other hand, Real Madrid also stand at the defining phase of the present season. The El Clasico against bitter rivals, FC Barcelona sandwiched between two Champions League fixtures against Bayern Munich will decide whether there will be celebrations at Cibeles this year or not.
And one last thing: who is favourite for tonight? When two big teams like Barcelona dn Real Madrid are in the field one can never be too certain. Although Real Madrid is leading La Liga this season, but Barcelona is being considered by many as the favorite - mainly because Barca has won La Liga the past three seasons, and secondly they have Lionel Messi - the magic goal scorer.
Barcelona is probably banking on Messi to give them the winning edge - but many now seriously believe that the Barca will have to find alternatives other than the mighty man Messi, because in his absence their side could crumble and find no one to goal.
Watch the match tonight which is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 GMT
