New Delhi: The clash between Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid is unarguably the most followed football rivalry in cricket, but to have the two powerhouses go head-to-head in a pre-season friendly is surely an added delight that fans in the United States will be relishing.

Branded as the El Clasico, the clash will take place in Miami, Florida's Hard Rock Stadium and fans can expect some heated affairs on the pitch, even if it is a friendly encounter. It's the first time ever that these two teams will meet in the United States and only the second time outside of Spain.


Barcelona has been in superb pre-season form, claiming victories over Juventus and Manchester United in the previous fixtures. Real Madrid, on the other hand, lost both of their previous encounters – against Manchester United and Manchester City.


Barca will be keen to hold on to their perfect pre-season record so far, but more importantly they would be willing to end all speculation surrounding Neymar's future.
