MIAMI - The new La Liga season is still weeks away, but try telling Miami that Saturday night's El Clasico at a sold-out Hard Rock Stadium is meaningless.
For the first time in over 35 years, Barcelona and Real Madrid will meet on foreign soil. It's also the first encounter between the two sides in the United States.
Back in 1982, the match was staged postseason in Venezuela, just before that year's World Cup finals. That game largely failed to capture the imagination and wasn't even shown on television in Europe.
