# Real Madrid v Barcelona: El Clsico's World Series 2011
## Forget a lazy end of season run-in. Barcelona and Real Madrid are set for
four games in 18 days, starting with La Liga on Saturday and ending with a
tasty Champions League semi-final double header.

**Real Madrid v Barcelona**
**What:** La Liga
**When: **Saturday April 16
**Where:** Santiago Bernabeu
**TV:** Sky Sports 1, 21:00
Let the 18-day smorgasbord begin: League, Cup and Europe. Barcelona won 5-0
last time out in La Liga - Jose Mourinho's worst defeat as a manager - and all
the competitive clashes between the two since Madrid last won in 2008. But
forget that, these four battles will be full of tactical nous and trump cards
between Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, not to mention thrillers and talking
points. Ronaldo v Messi will only be the half of it.
**Barcelona v Real Madrid**
**What:** Copa del Rey (King's Cup)
**When: **Wednesday April 20
**Where**: Mestalla Stadium, Valencia
**TV: **Sky Sports 2, 20:30
This will be a first meeting in the final for 21 years between the two giants
following Barcelona's 2-0 win in 1990. Barcelona will be strengthened with the
likely return of their captain Carles Puyol.
**Real Madrid v Barcelona**
**What:** Champions League semi-final, first leg
**When: **Wednesday April 27, 7:45pm
**Where:** Santiago Bernabeu
**TV: **Sky Sports

One of these teams will have some sort of bragging rights before the first of
back-to-back European games. It also will be the first meeting since their
clash in the 2001/02 semi-final, a year which will be remembered for [Zinedine
Zidane's stunning goal][10] for the Galacticos in the Glasgow final.
**Barcelona v Real Madrid**
**What:** Champions League semi-final, second leg
**When:** Tuesday May 3, 7:45pm
**Where:** Nou Camp
**TV:** Sky Sports
Unlike The Karate Kid, Anaconda and Rambo, the fourth part of Real-Barça could
top the lot. After 18 days and four matches, the television audience [500m
watched the 2002 semi] will probably exceed two billion, too. Extra time?
Don't bet against it.
