With only nine wins between the two sides out of a total of 16 played in La Liga so far, this is shaping up to be a pretty weird season over in Spain. While Carlo Ancelotti's side can just about hold their heads up high with their current position, they're only two point better off than Barca and already three short of shock leaders Real Sociedad.
This has been edgy stuff from Los Meringues domestically and that's not been helped by the jaw-dropping loss to Moldovan minnows FC Sheriff on the continent. Still, Madrid are a few seasons into their rebuild now. While the core of the side still needs replacing, fleet-footed forwards Vini Jnr and Rodrygo are starting to pay the bills.
For Barca, the shock is still settling in. Sure Ronald Koeman and the Barca board have seen this coming for a while, and the young talents of Fati, Pedri and Gavi are looking bright, but it takes a times for any team to adjust to losing the GOAT.
Find out how the project's getting along by making sure you know how to watch a Barcelona vs Real Madrid live stream from anywhere – and for free. The match kicks off at 3.15pm BST at the Camp Nou today, Sunday 24th October.
