Real Madrid faces month-long stadium absence amid El Clásico ticket sales

Real Madrid faces an unusual scheduling gap that will leave the Santiago Bernabéu without a home match for approximately one month. Due to a combination of upcoming away fixtures and the international break, the club will play several consecutive matches away from their home stadium before returning to play in front of their fans.

Separately, FC Barcelona has opened the exclusive pre-sale period for members for the upcoming El Clásico against Real Madrid, scheduled for October 25 at Camp Nou. Ticket prices for the match are high, ranging from 649 euros to 1,149 euros for the most premium seats. Despite the significant cost, the pre-sale tickets have already sold out, ensuring a full stadium for the encounter.
