When do Barcelona and Real Madrid play El Clasico in 2016-17?

El Clasico is one of the most anticipated matchups of the European football calendar.

Barcelona and Real Madrid will face off twice in La Liga during the season. Their first meeting will take place during Week 14 on the weekend of Dec. 3-4 at Barcelona's Camp Nou.

The return game will be played on the weekend of April 22-23 at the Santiago Bernabeu during Week 33. With only five games left in the 2016-17 campaign, it is sure to be one of the most heavily anticipated games of the season.

Last season, Barcelona pulled off an historic Clasico win over Real Madrid, defeating their rivals 4-0 at the Bernabeu in Nov. 2015. Real Madrid came back to win at the Camp Nou by a score of 2-1 in April 2016.

Among the stars on show are set to be Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Gareth Bale, Luis Suarez and Karim Benzema.
