EL CLASICO LOCKED AND LOADED!
The stage is set for the biggest match in the history of football. Real Madrid is set to host their biggest rivals FC Barcelona tonight at the Santiago Bernabeu for a LaLiga encounter.
This match will see both teams coming across each other this season. The 2 teams have had an impressive start to the season. Barcelona leads the log with 27 points from 10 league matches while Madrid is in second place with 24 points from 10 league matches.
The Catalan giants have been heavily supplied by the duo of Robert Lewandoski and Lamine Yamal for goals.
Los Blancos on the other hand have been boosted by new signing Kylian Mbappe who has been sharing the goal with Vinicius Junior.
Real Madrid have won their last four meetings against Barcelona in all competitions, and could record five wins in a row in El Clásico for just the second time in the last 59 years (five also between 2020 and 2022).
Since 2020, FC Barcelona have lost 10 of their 14 games in El Clásico in all competitions (W4). This is as many defeats as they suffered in the previous 39 such games, dating back to Josep Guardiola's first match as coach in December 2008 (W19 D10 L10).
Real Madrid have won four of their last five home games against Barcelona in LaLiga (L1), winning the last two. Los Blancos have not won three in a row at home to Los Azulgranas in the competition since a run of four wins between 1988 and 1991.
Real Madrid have now gone 42 straight games without defeat in LaLiga (W31 D11) and can equal the best unbeaten run by a team in the competition's history, achieved by FC Barcelona between April 2017 and May 2018 (G43 W34 D9).
Barcelona have gone 26 games in a row in all competitions without a draw (W21 L5 since March), and could equal their longest such run since October 2005-March 2006 under Frank Rijkaard (G27 W24 L3).
