It is on the bucket list of most football fans to watch a live El Clasico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid at least once in a lifetime, and the dream came true for Harvinth Skin last month.
The Malaysian comedian was invited as part of a media tour to watch the match at Camp Nou, where Luis Suarez scored a hat-trick as Ernesto Valverde's team demolished their eternal rivals 5-1.
The match took place in front of 93,265 spectators — the highest crowd attendance of the current season to date, not only in LaLiga but also in most football leagues — cementing its status as one of the most popular games in world football.
The LaLiga experience did not stop there for Harvinth as he also visited La Masia de Can Planes, more commonly known simply as La Masia, Barcelona’s world-class youth academy.
In recent years, it has produced the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets.
Besides that, Harvinth had an opportunity to visit two other Catalonia-based LaLiga clubs, Espanyol and Girona as he was given a tour around the former's RCDE Stadium, and braved the weather to watch the latter beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 at the Estadi Montilivi.
Watch how his five-day LaLiga tour went on his official Instagram account.
