Barcelona host Real Madrid on Wednesday night at Camp Nou for another edition of El Clasico but this time in the semi-final of the Supercopa de Espana.
This clash isn’t quite what it used to be but Barcelona are looking to the future with a huge January transfer window with their signing of Ferran Torres from Man City.

Gavi was sent off in Barcelona’s last La Liga fixture on Saturday but will be available for this huge fixture as it’s their domestic cup competition.
They will need their strongest players for this tie as they have been shocked into sixth place in La Liga so far this season, a huge 17 points off their rivals.
Real Madrid are enjoying their season with just two losses in the league and comfortably five points ahead of Sevilla who remain in second position.
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last five games in the league but have often dropped points with too many draws.
El Clasico didn’t disappoint last time out though, two late goals created a roller coaster of a game.
David Alaba netted just after the half hour mark and then they sealed the game with a 94th minute goal courtesy of Lucas Vazquez, but Barcelona pulled one back as Sergio Aguero netted in the 97th minute.
Real also won at Camp Nou last season in 2020 3-1 after two early goals kicked the classic fixture off in style.
Federico Valverde netted in the first five minutes before Ansu Fati levelled the score just three minutes later.
But Sergio Ramos scored just after the hour to make it 2-1 before Luka Modric sealed the game with a goal in the 90th minute, so it’s sure to be a similar one this time with early and late goals to look forward to.
We are backing: Real Madrid to win and Karim Benzema to score first at 17/4 on 888Sport.
