'El Clasico' dates for 2022-23 season announced!

The Spanish FA (RFEF) announced this Thursday in Las Rozas the fixture schedule for the 2022-23 season. And the two meetings between the teams will have special relevance. 

The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu on matchday nine. That game will be on 16th October. 

The clash at the Camp Nou on matchday 26 will be on 19th March 2023. The fixture could be key to deciding who wins the title. 

The dates are very similar to the ones last term. In 2021-22, the Camp Nou hosted the first meeting on 24th October while the second game was at the Bernabeu on 20th March. 

Barcelona had the better head to head record between the sides. Despite losing 1-2 to Real Madrid when Koeman was still in charge, Xavi's Barcelona thumped Madrid 0-4 at the Bernabeu in the second meeting. 

Real Madrid ended up being La Liga champions. They were better than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid over the course of the season and lifted the La Liga title, as well as the Champions League in Paris.
