It's one of the most historic rivalries in football
It should tell you everything you need to know about the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona that countless other rivalries have names badly adapted from 'El Clásico.' The derby between LA Galaxy and LAFC, for example, has been dubbed El Traffico. I know, tinpot. But you get the point.
El Clásico is the biggest derby in European football for various reasons, both sporting and political. It's Catalonia vs the capital of Spain.

It's a clash of styles, philosophies and cultures. And it's this Sunday at 8pm.
Here is a quiz that tests your knowledge of the rivalry ahead of the big fixture.
