El Clasico is not available to watch live in the UK due to the 3pm blackout rule – a law which dates back to the 1960s preventing football from being shown on UK TV between 2:45pm and 5:15pm, in an effort to protect the attendances of lower league clubs.<\/p>\n
This includes international football, which is why ViaPlay – who hold the rights for LaLiga in the UK – cannot broadcast the match on TV or online until they show a re-run at 5:15pm.<\/p>\n
The re-run will be shown on ViaPlay Sports 2 and will also be available to watch on the ViaPlay website for ViaPlay subscribers.<\/p>\n

Martinez, Gavi; Lopez, Torres, F\u00e9lix.<\/p>\n Real Madrid XI: Arrizabalaga; Carvajal, R\u00fcdiger, Alaba, Mendy; Tchouam\u00e9ni, Kroos; Valverde, Bellingham, Vin\u00edcius; Rodrygo.<\/p>\n \u201cFermin, Lamine Yamal… they are very good, but we also have youngsters who are spectacular.<\/p>\n \u201cBellingham, Camavinga, Tchouameni, they\u2019re very young. Sometimes we forget that we too have many young players and many players from the Real Madrid youth system.\u201d<\/p>\n Carlo Ancelotti: \u201cWe\u2019re motivated, it\u2019s an important, special match. It will be the first Cl\u00e1sico of this season, but there will be more: The Supercopa, the return fixture, Copa, Champions League… this will only be the first one. And we\u2019re in good shape.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is very important, but the season is very long and to say that this decides a league title… it\u2019s too much. The season is very long, very long. It will be a very competitive league with many more games.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Goalkeepers<\/strong>: Lunin, Kepa and Diego Pi\u00f1eiro.<\/p>\n Defenders<\/strong>: Carvajal, Alaba, Nacho, Lucas V., Fran Garc\u00eda, R\u00fcdiger and Mendy.<\/p>\n Midfielders<\/strong>: Bellingham, Kroos, Modri\u0107, Camavinga, Valverde and Tchouameni.<\/p>\n Attackers<\/strong>: Vini Jr., Rodrygo, Joselu and Brahim.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n “I’m really excited,” Bellingham said. And does he feel the nerves? \u201cNo, not really. I’ve played a lot of high-pressure games. Maybe not one of this magnitude. I can’t wait to see what the atmosphere will be like… If you can’t get motivated for a game like this, where else would you rather be as a football player?<\/p>\n “I’m ready. I had a little tweak in the last game in the Champions League but I’m feeling good and hopefully I’ll be out there and hopefully we get a good result… I just had a bit of fatigue, I’ve played a lot of games so far this season already.”<\/p>\n Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen; Cancelo, Ara\u00fajo, Christensen, Balde; G\u00fcndogan, Romeu, Gavi; L\u00f3pez, Torres, F\u00e9lix.<\/p>\n Real Madrid XI: Arrizabalaga; Carvajal, R\u00fcdiger, Alaba, Mendy; Tchouam\u00e9ni, Kroos; Valverde, Bellingham, Vin\u00edcius; Rodrygo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cI always tuned in no matter how late it was even when my mum was telling me to go to bed,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019d always stay up until I got to the last minute of the Cl\u00e1sico<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cStuff like that [Ronaldo\u2019s calma <\/em>celebration] sticks with you. The good, the bad, sometimes the ugly sides of it. I can\u2019t wait to see what the atmosphere is like.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to answer. They have had a lot of injuries and that has given opportunities to players coming through,\u201d said the Italian. <\/p>\n \u201cBecause if a lot of players get injured during the season, you have to turn to the youth squad. \u00c1lvaro Rodr\u00edguez, Mario Mart\u00edn, Nico Paz and Gonzalo are very close to playing with the first team.\u201d<\/p>\nBarcelona v Real Madrid lineups<\/h3>\n
