Barcelona vs Real Madrid Live Score: Soccer Champions Tour 2023, Kick-off Time, and IST - Watch the Exciting Match

Real Madrid and Barcelona face off in a pre-season friendly tournament, Soccer Champions Tour 2023, with both teams missing key players.

In the highly anticipated match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, the stakes are high as both teams look to continue their winning momentum. This friendly match, part of the pre-season tournament Soccer Champions Tour 2023, will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Real Madrid has had a strong start to the 2023-24 season, defeating AC Milan and Manchester United in their first two games of the US Tour. Despite missing star striker Karim Benzema, who has moved to Saudi Arabia in a lucrative transfer, Real Madrid showed their strength with impressive victories. In their match against AC Milan, they came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2, thanks to a brace from Federico Valverde and a winning goal from Vinicius Junior. Their game against Manchester United saw a stunning bicycle-kick goal from former Real Madrid Castilla striker Joselu, securing a late victory after Jude Bellingham's debut goal for Real Madrid.

Barcelona, on the other hand, had a rough start to the season. Their opening pre-season game against Juventus was called off due to several players falling ill upon arrival in the USA. In their subsequent match against Arsenal, Barcelona suffered a 3-5 defeat. Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Ferran Torres scored goals for Barcelona, but Leandro Trossard's double strike and Fabio Vieira's late goal sealed the win for Arsenal.

Both teams have some injury concerns heading into the match. Barcelona's Inigo Martinez is unlikely to make his debut due to a foot injury, while Clement Lenglet and Gavi are uncertain due to back and unspecified injuries, respectively. However, left-back Alejandro Balde may start after recovering from an ankle injury.

Real Madrid's teenager Arda Guler is also yet to make his debut as he recovers from a thigh injury, and Dani Ceballos is recuperating from a hamstring injury. Thibaut Courtois is expected to start as the goalkeeper for this important pre-season game after Andriy Lunin played in the first two matches.

With both teams eager to continue their winning streaks and gain an early advantage in the Soccer Champions Tour 2023, this El Clasico match promises to be a thrilling encounter. Fans can expect an intense battle between two of the biggest rivals in world football.
