Madrid-FCB. Did you know…

Anna Segura

Facts, facts, facts…..and then some more…..all about el classico!

- 343 days since Barca were last at the Santiago Bernabeu – 2-6, what a win!

- 79 games between the two in Madrid so far – 15 wins, 14 draws and 50 defeats for Barca.

- Goals galore - between Leo Messi, with 26, and Higuain with 24, the teams two leading scorers have chalked up 50 league goal so far this season.

- Or not? Víctor Valdés has the best record of any keeper in the league, averaging just 0.63 goals a game, whilst Madrid’s Iker Casillas averages 0.87.

- Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored the only goal between the two this season, misses out on the chance to debut in the Bernabeu with Barca after injuring himself in last week’s warm up.

- Two on the run? Barca have NEVER won at the Bernabeu two years on the run – is this the time to break that record?

- In Messi’s sights: The world’s best player just loves playing against Madrid and has bagged six goals in the seven games he’s faced them.

- Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, has yet to score against Barca, failing with both Manchester United and Real Madrid.

- Debut for Maxwell? Abidal’s unlucky injury last week could have opened the door for Maxwell to make his debut in a derby game with Madrid, as could Chygrynsky who also signed in the summer.
