On April 6, 2025, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will meet at the Palau in a must-win clash in the Liga Endesa. Real Madrid comes into the game riding a dominant run with 13 consecutive victories, bolstered by key signings such as Andrés Feliz, Serge Ibaka, and Usman Garuba. A win in this match could extend their season lead, marking the largest regular-season gap since the 1983-84 season.
FC Barcelona, meanwhile, have been hampered by multiple injuries and internal issues, including the unexpected absence of 18-year-old Dame Sarr following an unapproved trip to the United States. Despite these setbacks, coach Joan Peñarroya has expressed confidence in his squad’s identity and resilience, with the team also focusing on their strong Euroliga campaign. The upcoming El Clásico is set to be a pivotal moment as both teams jockey for better positions in their diverging seasons.
