All-Soccer Network Delivers La Liga's 'El Clasico' and Live Coverage of Brazil's Campeonato Paulista Final Between Heated Rivals Corinthians and Santos

MIAMI, April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- GolTV, the only live bilingual channel delivering 24/7 soccer, will telecast exclusive live coverage of Spain's El Clasico between La Liga's Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona on Saturday, May 2 at 2 p.m. ET. On Sunday, May 3 at 3 p.m. ET, the network will show live coverage of rivals Corinthians and Santos FC as they go head to head in the final championship match of the 2009 Campeonato Paulista, the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil's infamous club soccer league.

"Four of the world's strongest club teams competing against their heated rivals on the same weekend is a soccer fan's fantasy. These will be two of the most historical and exciting matchups this year," said Enzo Francescoli, CEO and founder of GolTV. "El Clasico is one of the most-watched international sporting events and features soccer's premier talent from around the globe."

As two of the world's most popular and successful soccer clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona's rosters are chock full of international superstar players, including Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry, Fabio Cannavaro and Iker Casillas. Both teams have dominated La Liga since the 1950s and play each other in El Clasico twice per season. In their last head-to-head competition in December 2008, Barcelona beat Real Madrid 2-0.

The Campeonato Paulista features many of Brazil's top soccer stars, including three-time "FIFA World Footballer of the Year" Ronaldo, Kleber Pereira, Keirrison, Neymar and Marquinhos. With millions of fans worldwide, Corinthians is one of Brazil's most successful and popular clubs. Santos also boasts a strong following of devoted fans, and has launched careers for several of the world's standout players, including the international soccer legend, Pele, who played 17 years with the club.
