The confirmed teams for El Clasico are in with a huge surprise on the Barcelona side of things.

Luis Enrique has opted to leave Andres Iniesta out of the starting line-up, with the midfielder instead taking a place on the bench.

With no Iniesta, it means Lionel Messi will take up the captain's armband at Barca. It's the first time ever  he has ever worn it in an El Clasico contest. 

Real Madrid meanwhile, as beIN SPORTS reported earlier, have gone with Mateo Kovacic and Isco in midfield. Lucas Vazquez is the chosen man to replace the injured Gareth Bale for the huge clash at Camp Nou.
