Barcelona and Real Madrid will arrive together for the first clsico of the season amid security concerns in the Catalan capital.
Spanish authorities have asked the teams to make their bus trips to the Camp Nou at the same time on Wednesday because thousands of Catalan separatists plan a protest near the stadium.
The teams will also stay at the same hotel very close to the Camp Nou.
More than 25,000 separatists are expected to protest around the stadium, and they could possibly carry out actions inside the venue as well, where nearly 100,000 fans are expected for one of the most watched matches of the season.
"It will be different than usual, but they told us to leave the hotel together and that's what we will do," Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said on Tuesday.
"The important thing is that we play the game."
"Everything else what happens outside we could be here talking about that for an entire week. We will focus on the field. We will be playing a soccer match."
"We arrive for the match feeling good."
