The second La Liga Clasico of the season between Barcelona and Real Madrid will take place on Saturday, April 2, the Spanish league has confirmed. Barca, who won the first game 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu in November, will welcome their rivals to the Camp Nou for an 8:30 p.m. CET kick-off. The Matchday 31 clash follows an international break which sees Spain play two friendlies against Italy and Romania, while it takes place three days before the quarterfinals of the Champions League get started. Barca and Madrid both remain in Europe's elite club competition and hold round-of-16 first-leg advantages over Arsenal and Roma respectively. Barca are eight points clear at the top of La Liga, with Madrid trailing the Catalan club by 12 points in third place after their 1-0 derbi defeat to Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Luis Suarez scored a brace and Neymar and Andres Iniesta also got on the score sheet when Barca saw off Madrid earlier in the season.
