Real Madrid Barcelona president will host own party

Real Madrid facing challenge of a lifetime

Mexico will be country with third most fans at El Clasico

Despite recent tensions between both Real Madrid and Barcelona, Florentino Perez has invited the president and directors from the Catalan club for food and drink before El Clasico, and though Josep Maria Bartomeu will attend the match, he has decided not to accept the offer for dinner.

It will be served in the president's box at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, an area that has been questioned in recent weeks by Gerald Pique.

The centre-back and all associated with Barcelona made their feeling`s famously clear, regarding the Madrid members who sit in the area.

Previously, before El Clasico matches, this type of dinner had been held in restaurants, such as the Palace or Zalacain.
