Storylines
Real Madrid: All eyes will be on Vinicius Junior. He just got his first call-up to the Brazilian national team and has been dazzling this season. His youth has been evident but the spark in attack is there. He's given Barca problems in their last two matches and will look to get his goal here.
Barcelona: It's been a crazy week for Barca, but getting a draw here would be more than acceptable. The thing is, Barca has two wins against Real this season with eight goals scored in them, in addition to that Copa del Rey first-leg draw (1-1). Barca knows its much better than Real, and they'll look to take the chance to humiliate them again. But if they don't, it's hardly a problem. Even a loss won't put them in that tough of a spot.
Real Madrid vs. Barcelona prediction
Barca once again gets the best of Real, with Messi scoring a game-winning free kick.
Pick: Barca (+145)
