El Clasico
According to MARCA, Real Madrid and Barcelona are planning a pre-season El Clasico to be held in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. The two teams were supposed to compete there in the summer of 2020, but the Coronavirus outbreak forced the tournament to be canceled.
According to the MARCA story, the first plan was to hold a competition with Juventus and AC Milan. If the story is correct, all four teams will leave their home nations to take part in the quadrilateral tournament held in the United States.
This will be the second El Clasico on American soil
If the El Clasico takes place, it will be staged in the United States for the second time period of five years, with the last game taking place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The anticipated friendly would be part of the ‘Champions Cup,’ a new summer event. Madrid will play two more matches in Los Angeles and San Diego, according to the source, although the specifics of all three games have yet to be confirmed.
Barcelona put an end to their El Clasico losing streak by defeating Real Madrid 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu this season. Aubameyang scored twice along with goals from Ferran Torres and Araujo.
In spite of suffering a defeat from their archrivals Barcelona, Carlo Angelotti‘s men have put on a rampant display by already winning the league and qualifying for the champions league finals against Liverpool. Benzema will be looking to lead his team from the front to their 14th European title later this month.
On the other hand, Xavi has confirmed Barca a Champions League spot for next season and will be looking to start the season strong. And what better way to start the season than beating their rivals from Madrid.
