Real Madrid and Barcelona meet for the first El Clasico showdown of the season in the dusty desert of Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend.

The pre-season encounter is likely to be anything but friendly, with a host of new signings set to turn out for Barcelona.

Robert Lewandowski is the biggest incoming star of their cash-splashing summer, while former Leeds winger Raphinha is also among the new boys hoping for a run out.

Madrid opened the chequebook to pin down Aurelien Tchouameni this summer and also added Antonio Rudiger to their ranks on a free transfer.

Both teams will be determined to blood in their new signings ahead of the new campaign, and what better way to accomplish that than against the team they each need to defeat in 2022/23.
