GolTV Presents Live Telecast of La Liga's Real Madrid vs. Barcelona on April 10
MIAMI - (BUSINESS WIRE) - GolTV,
the nation's only independent bilingual channel delivering the most
sought-after international fútbol, will telecast live coverage of
Spain's biannual El Clásico between La Liga's Real Madrid CF and
FC Barcelona from Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, April 10 at 4
p.m. ET with a preview show kicking off at 2 p.m. ET. This is the last
time Barcelona and Real Madrid, currently ranked as the top two teams in
La Liga, will face each other in competition during the 2009-10 regular
season.
"El Clásico is one of the hottest and most long-standing
rivalries in international soccer, and every matchup delivers
heart-stopping excitement and unmatched soccer action," said Enzo
Francescoli, CEO and founder of GolTV. "In addition to the rivalry and
overwhelming popularity of these two teams, this event also offers
soccer fans the chance to watch several of the world's best players go
head-to-head in competition. That's why El Clásico continues to
be one of the most-watched global soccer events."
Barcelona has led the Spanish league for the majority of the current
season with a roster chock full of powerhouse players like Ibrahimovic,
Xavi and the league's top goal scorer Lionel Messi. On the other side of
the field, Real Madrid's roster boasts several of the world's best stars
including Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas and Kaká. In this
competition, Real Madrid will be seeking revenge as in the last El
Clásico in November 2009, Ibrahimovic came off the bench to score in
the 56th minute, leading Barcelona to a 1-0 victory.
Both teams have dominated Spain's La Liga since the 1950s and play each
other twice per season. Historically, Real Madrid and Barcelona have
played 159 El Clásico matches since the season of 1928-29, and
Real Madrid leads with 68 wins versus Barcelona's 61. In addition to
coverage of Spain's top league, GolTV is also home to Germany's
Bundesliga and Brazil's Campeonato Brasileiro and Campeonato Paulista,
all of which will be showcased in crystal clear HD quality beginning on
Aug. 1, 2010.
