Barcelona and Real Madrid will meet each other twice in the same week

La Liga have finally confirmed, as previously revealed by Javier Tebas, that the La Liga Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona will take place on March 2. 

The game, which will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu, will kick off at 20.45h and will be the second meeting between the sides that week. 

Madrid will also host Barça on the Wednesday before (Feb. 27) in the Copa del Rey semifinal second leg. The first leg ended 1-1 at Camp Nou earlier this week. 

The league game between the teams will complete a run of three Clasicos in just 25 days which could be vital in both sides' seasons. 

The first of the three ended in a draw on Wednesday. Lucas Vazquez gave Los Blancos the lead but Malcom, in his best game for the club, equalised for Barça in the second half.
