El Clasico is that game all soccer fans are eagerly waiting for every season. This weekend, Barcelona and Real Madrid will meet for the first time in the 2021-22 La Liga and it will be broadcast in the US by ESPN+.
The lifelong rivals have usually met either at Los Cules' ground, Camp Nou, like on Sunday, or at Santiago Bernabeu, home of Los Blancos. But the truth is that they have also faced each other in many other places.
For instance, the first ever meeting between Blaugrana and Blancos took place in a venue that would sound awkward nowadays. Here, take a look at all the stadiums that hosted the Spanish derby.
