On December 15, 2024, Real Madrid and Barcelona will reignite their historic rivalry in a legends match in Japan, just two months after Barcelona handed a heavy 4-0 defeat to Los Blancos in the season's first El Clasico. These Legends game promises to bring fan-favorite players back to the field, with Real Madrid icons like Iker Casillas, Luis Figo, Roberto Carlos, Steve McManaman, Ivan Campo, and Julio Baptista taking on Barcelona legends Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Rivaldo, Javier Mascherano, Rafa Marquez, and Bojan Krkic.
Scheduled to take place at Tokyo's Ajinomoto Stadium at 2 pm local time, this match marks the fourth encounter in the Legends El Clasico series. Fans can expect a thrilling throwback, as previous matchups have been tightly contested: Barcelona won the 2017 debut match 3-2, and Real Madrid emerged victorious by the same score in 2021.
A major highlight of this event is the appearance of Andres Iniesta, who announced his retirement just last month. This game, often called “The Last Dance” for the 40-year-old legend, will give fans a final chance to see him in Barça colors—a fitting tribute for Iniesta, who spent five years in Japan with Vissel Kobe. The stage is set for an unforgettable evening of nostalgia as the El Clasico legends meet once more.
