Barcelona, Madrid Record Victories Ahead of El Clasico
- Updated: October 20, 2014
Barcelona are hoping to break a record as well as inflict defeat on rivals Real Madrid in the first El Clasico of the season on Saturday.
The Spanish giants meet in the capital, with Barca currently four points clear of their rivals at the top of the table – thanks to a 3-0 home win over top-flight newcomers Eibar.
Lionel Messi scored the final goal, adding to efforts from Xavi and Neymar, to bring his La Liga tally to 250 – putting him one behind all-time top scorer Telmo Zarra of Athletic Bilbao.
The game is also set to mark Luis Suarez’s first Barca appearance, with the ex-Liverpool striker having served his four-month ban.
Real superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has already broken a record, however – the hottest scoring start to a Spanish top-flight season.
The ex-Manchester United icon scored twice in a 5-0 thrashing of Levante, which made it 15 goals in seven games – beating Esteban Echevarria’s record of 14 for Real Oviedo set in 1943.
Barca boss Luis Enrique said: “We will be going to Real to win, as we have done over the last few years. But I don’t think the game will be decisive.”
