Speaking on the epic football duel, Mr. Martin Mabutho, the General Manager, Marketing and Sales for MultiChoice Nigeria, said: “Every year, millions of people around the world tune in to watch the spectacle that is the ‘El Classico’, a battle between two of the biggest Spanish clubs in world football. SuperSport has always ensured that Nigerians are not left out of the thrilling encounter and this year is no different. The clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be broadcast LIVE on SuperSport, and our viewers should tune in to find out who edges the other out: will it be Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi?”
Saturday’s match will be the 236th competitive Clasico as Real Madrid, currently fourth in the table and fresh from winning the Club World Cup for a second successive year courtesy of a well-placed Ronaldo free-kick will trade tackles with La Liga table-toppers Barcelona as they look to close the eight points deficit.
