El Classico 2013 takes place on Saturday with Barcelona and Real Madrid facing off for the first time this season. This should be a game of the highest quality with a host of the world's best football players on show. No serious football fan would miss this game.

Things will kick off at 5 p.m. BST and can be watched online through live stream – free for Sky Go subscribers – via the link provided below.

In past seasons this game has been touted as a match up between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the two best players in the world over recent seasons. However, there are so many more top drawer players on show here, and the duo are even joined in their face off today by new big money signing Gareth Bale.

He has been recovering from injury but if he plays it would be his first El Classico, and he will be excited about taking part in a match of this caliber.

Currently in the Spanish La Liga, Atletico Madrid are sandwiched between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Barcelona have 25 points from their opening nine games, where as Real are back three points from them in third place.

Messi so far this season has eight goals in domestic league play while new signing Neymar and Cesc Fabregas have been influential with five and six assists each.

Real suffered their only league defeat to in-city rivals Atletico at the end of September, and they will not want to fall again to one of their main league rivals today.
