Madrid will rest less than Barça in the Clásico on 24-O

Real Madrid will have one less day off than Barcelona in the Clásico on October 24, the first of the two in this 2020-21 League that takes place at the Camp Nou. The Champions League calendar, which became official this Friday after Thursday's draw, has defined that Madrid will play later in the Champions League match prior to the Classic.

Barcelona will host Hungarian Ferencvaros at the Camp Nou on October 20, at 9:00 p.m., while Madrid will do the same in Valdebebas on October 21, at 6:55 p.m., with the Ukrainian Shakhtar. The smallest margin for Madrid will not be 24 hours, but 22; a slight relief that, even so, does not alleviate the fact that Madrid will face the Classic with less refreshment time. The culés will have four days; the whites, three.

Barcelona-Madrid, on October 24 for sure

The game between Barcelona and Madrid does not yet have a confirmed schedule for that Saturday, October 24, but it is certain that it will be played on that day, because the following week there will be a Champions League match again and Madrid, in that case, it will be whoever plays first: travels to Germany to face Borussia Mönchengladbach on October 27, at 9:00 pm; the Barcelona, meanwhile, plays in Turin against Juventus on October 28 at 9:00 p.m.

In the case of that second day of the Champions League, Barcelona also benefited with more rest, although he faces a tough rival like Juventus, his main rival for the first place in the group, and Madrid plays before and after the Clásico against the most affordable rivals in the group, having the key date of his group on November 3, at Di Stéfano against Inter Milan.
