It's no secret that the two most popular teams in the soccer world are Real Madrid and Barcelona, and when they face each other in what is known as El Clasico, everyone stops to watch. In recent years it has become a custom that, in the preseason, both teams meet and face each other in a friendly match on U.S. soil and it seems that this year will be no exception.

Both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will have a series of important changes for the upcoming season. On the one hand, the Blaugrana will have a coach other than Xavi Hernandez leading them in that match, as the former midfielder and club legend has already announced that he will not continue to coach Barça and that as soon as the current season ends, he will step aside as he feels that the team needs a change of direction.

For its part, Real Madrid is shaping up to have a busy summer in terms of new signings. It is no secret that Kylian Mbappé is closer than ever to become a Merengue player, but reports from the international press claim that the Frenchman would not be the only reinforcement of the team led by Carlo Ancelotti, but other players like Alphonso Davies or Joshua Kimmich, would be on the radar of the team and could wear the white uniform the next campaign.

In that sense, El Clasico to be played in the United States could be historic and remembered for many years, as it is possible that it will be the first game of Kylian Mbappé as a Real Madrid player, facing the fierce rival. It should be noted that Mbappé currently has to face Barça in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League with PSG, just as he did a couple of years ago when he scored 4 goals against the Catalan side and eliminated them from the competition.

Where and when will El Clasico be played?

According to several reports, the preseason match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be played in New York, at the MetLife Stadium, on August 3. We will have to wait for the official confirmation and we must also remember that there is a possibility that even being a Real Madrid player, Kylian Mbappé will not play this match, as it is known that his idea is to attend the Olympic Games in Paris 2024.
