BARCELONA (Reuters) - Two months after Spain's biggest soccer match was postponed due to political unrest, Barcelona host Real Madrid on Wednesday in a La Liga fixture that could have a huge impact on the title race and will take place amid fresh protests.

Champions Barca lead the standings after 16 games but are locked on 35 points with second-placed Real ahead of the eagerly anticipated match at the Camp Nou, known as "El Clasico".
