Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Where to watch in India, USA and UK

The Spanish Super Cup features another edition of El Clasico this week as Barcelona take on arch-rivals Real Madrid in Riyadh on Wednesday. The two La Liga giants have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will go into this game with formidable squads.

Real Madrid are at the top of the La Liga standings and have been in impressive form this season. Los Blancos have already managed a convincing victory against the Blaugrana this season and will look to take it up a notch this week.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Catalan giants have shown improvement since Xavi's appointment and will need to play out of their skins to trouble their opponents on Wednesday.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
