This Sunday we have the match of the matches. The Spanish Soccer Classic is one of the most important matches on the planet. When Real Madrid and Barcelona face off, regardless of the players on both teams, the football world comes to a standstill and all eyes are on the Camp Nou or the Santiago Bernabéu.
Today have faced each other 246 times and the numbers couldn’t be more even. 98 victories for the Whites, 96 for the Blaugrana, who have accumulated a bad run in recent years, and 52 draws. Slight advantage of the meringues who have turned the situation around in recent seasons where they have managed to be more effective in the direct duel than the Catalans.
In those 246 games they have scored 811 goals; 410 by Real Madrid and 401 by Barcelona. Another statistic in which they are practically tied is that when the two most important teams in Spanish football face off, absolute equality usually prevails.
For this Sunday’s game, Real Madrid starts as the favorite, which has not started the season wonderfully, but has more compelling arguments to win the game than Barça, which is starring in one of the worst starts of the campaign of his story.
The two players who have played the classic the most times will have to see this match for the first time from the screen. Messi and Sergio Ramos left their respective teams at the same time so neither will be able to beat the other and they will remain in the Top with 45 games each.
