El Clasico is the biggest rivalry in sports, featuring the biggest stars in the biggest venues with some of the biggest prizes in soccer generally on the line. So who are the El Clasico top scorers, the players who shine when the lights are brightest and the pressure is on? We made a list, and it has some pretty impressive names on it.
MADRID - Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann has been spared having to remember three different dates to mark the birthdays of each of his three children — as they were all born on April 8.
When the French World Cup winner confirmed on social media that his wife Erika Choperena had given birth to a baby daughter on Thursday, remarkably it was on the same date as their elder children, Mia (born in 2016) and Amaro (born in 2019).
El tropiezo de Atlético de Madrid ante Sevilla dejó al Barcelona afilándose los dientes. De ganarle al Real Valladolid, los catalanes tenían la posibilidad de quedar a un punto de los colchoneros con aún nueve jornadas de LaLiga en disputa. La oportunidad, ciertamente, no la desaprovechó, pero costó litros y litros de sudor.
Mientras el plantel masculino combina dulces con algunas muy amargas, el Barcelona Femenil camina sobre las nubes. Las catalanas hoy jugaron ante el Levante, sus más cercanas perseguidoras en la Liga Iberdrola, y no tuvieron piedad: un 7-1 brutal y que mantiene el sueño de una campaña no solo invicta, sino que perfecta.
Gerard Piqué pudo entrenarse con el resto de sus compañeros del Barcelona en parte de la sesión del miércoles, lo que supone una magnífica noticia para su entrenador y su equipo.
El veterano defensa se lesionó en el partido de vuelta de las semifinales de la Copa del Rey contra el Sevilla, pero se recupera poco a poco. De hecho, Ronald Koeman está optimista de que pueda jugar el Clásico ante el Real Madrid, el próximo 10 de abril.
Barcelona advanced to the last four of the women's Champions League with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Manchester City after a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their quarter-final at the City Academy Stadium on Wednesday.

Manchester City announced on Monday that iconic striker Sergio Agüero would be leaving the club at the end of the season. The Argentine joined Man City from Atlético Madrid in 2011 on a $44 million transfer, winning four (and possibly one more this year) Premier League titles in the process.
He is the highest-scoring non-Englishman in Premier League history and will be a highly sought-after transfer target come the summer when his contract expires.
La pandemia del coronavirus ha golpeado duramente al fútbol desde el punto de vista financiero y lo más probable es que los efectos se vean durante el mercado de fichajes.
Los clubes, incluso los más ricos y de élite de Europa, estarán a la caza de cualquier posible ganga. Sergio ‘Kun’ Agüero podría ser uno de los mayores atractivos de este verano, ya que su contrato con los Citizens llega a su fin.
En la mira de los grandes
This Sergiño Dest goal vs Jamaica deserves to be hung in the Louvre.
The Barcelona defender played out of his mind in the opening 45 minutes of the USMNT’s friendly against Jamaica. Playing in the left back position — as opposed to his typical right back position with Barcelona — didn't faze Dest at all.
After bagging a brace for Barcelona on Sunday against Real Sociedad, Dest kept his shooting boots laced up with this beauty from 25 yards out.
Barcelona winger Ansu Fati became the new ambassador of the Cupra brand, and, as one of the benefits, he received a customized car. However, the 18-year-old still doesn’t have a driver's license, therefore he can’t drive his new car yet.
Ansu, one of the most promising youngsters at Barcelona, will receive the Cupra Formentor, whose lower-end car is priced at almost $50,000.
