Why is El Clásico so popular? Real Madrid vs Barcelona is one of football's greatest rivalries. But how much of El Clásico's history do we really understand? Ahead of Barcelona vs Real Madrid on Sunday, 25 October, Dotun Adebayo and Tim Vickery are joined by football journalist and author Joey D'Urso to uncover the extraordinary story behind Spanish football's biggest fixture.
