Tonight sees a huge Clasico clash held in the United States as supporters in Texas are treated to the latest chapter in the famous football rivalry. Both teams are beginning their pre-season preparations, so expect plenty of players – and plenty of goals – on show in Dallas.
Barca’s summer has been disrupted by an illness spreading throughout the squad, forcing a game against Juventus to be cancelled before a 5-3 defeat to Arsenal, but have since fully recovered and ready to take on their long-time rivals. Real Madrid, meanwhile, saw off Manchester United with ease as Jude Bellingham scored his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win and have confirmed the squad is “complete” after splashing up to £115million on the midfielder.
Barcelona have earned bragging rights in three of their last four meetings, but Real Madrid won the most recent clash 4-0. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.

Full-time!
95min: A flattering scoreline for Barca, but they won’t care. It’s Clasico bragging rights in Texas!
GOAL!
91min: More dreadful Madrid defending always Torres to run through, chip the ball over Courtois and into an empty net!
GOAL!
85min: That settles it! Marin drills home a stunner after some dreadful Real Madrid defending to seal victory for Barca!
83min: So close!
Vinicius Jr does brilliantly to work an angle inside the area, but he cannot bend his shot past Ter Stegen at full stretch.
80min: Kroos gives away a free kick around 25 yards out and Mendy is fuming at Torres for seemingly throwing himself to the ground.
76min: Triple change for Barca as Romeu, De Jong and Araujo are replaced by Torres, Alonso and Abde.
71min: Romeu gets booked for dragging back Mendy. That’s sloppy.
69min: Real Madrid are doing everything right, until the last act. Vinicius Jr looks certain to slot home inside the area but slips as he winds up to shoot.
Agonising.
65min: It’s hotting up again. Now Vinicius Jr is asking for Araujo to be booked for hitting him in the face. There’s nothing in it.
SAVE!
62min: Real Madrid must be wondering how they haven’t scored! Rodrygo lays it to Tchouameni for a pop from distance, which Ter Stegen saves… somehow!
