The biggest game of the season in La Liga is taking place this weekend with Barcelona hosting Real Madrid in El Clásico, reigniting one of the fiercest rivalries in the sport in a match where the stakes are sky-high.

Ahead of the latest El Clasico, Flick has been boosted by the return of Alejandro Balde to training. The left-back has not featured since sustaining a hamstring injury in the win over Leganes last month, but is in contention to start against Real Madrid.

It has been a strange season for Real Madrid but, despite crashing out of the Champions League quarter-finals to Arsenal and losing the Copa del Rey final to Barcelona, they are still in with a chance of winning La Liga.
