El Clásico on 15 September: a later checkpoint after three straight Liga games
Barcelona meet Real Madrid in mid-September, only after Elche, Athletic and Rayo.
Before the 15 September Clásico against Real Madrid, FC Barcelona play three Liga matches in eight days: Elche, Athletic Club and Rayo Vallecano.
If Hamza Abdelkarim banks minutes in that run, he reaches the Clásico as more than a new name on the list.
The fixture stays on the 2026/27 La Liga calendar — it is not the next match.
