The fixtures which await Barcelona & Real Madrid before the Clasico
Los Blancos have the more favourable run before December's Camp Nou meeting
Barcelona and Real Madrid have risen to the top of La Liga going into the international break. Both sides have 25 points but it's the Catalans who sit top, for now, thanks to their superior goal difference.
Meanwhile, in the Champions League, both teams are well placed to qualify with two games remaining. Ernesto Valverde's side have eight points and Zinedine Zidane's men have seven.
When domestic football resumes later this month, all eyes will be on the Clasico between the two sides, which will be played at Camp Nou on Dec. 18 after the original Oct. 26 meeting was postponed.
Barça have a tougher schedule running up to that game, with Champions League matches against Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan coupled with difficult away games in the league against Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad.
