Based on recent scores, it is safe to say Real Madrid is not scared of playing at Camp Nou. Los Merengues have come out with two wins, one draw and two losses from their five most recent visits to Barcelona's territory.
Last time both teams met in Barcelona, it was on October 26, 2013 and the home team won 2-1. Neymar scored his first El Clasico goal early in the first half and Alexis Sanchez added another one in the 78th minute. Jesse Rodriguez scored in the 90th minute just as the game was ending.

That was most likely an unexpected result for Real Madrid, who had won its last four games prior to it. Barcelona had tied against Osasuna and AC Milan on the days before the game.
Earlier that year, Los Cules suffered a painful loss
The last draw between both sides at Barcelona happened on October 7, 2012. Both teams had won their last four games. Cristiano gave Madrid the early lead, then Messi scored twice and again Cristiano responded to tie the game. 2-2 was the final score. Barcelona would go on and win La Liga.

Earlier that year they faced off in the final of the Supercopa, Madrid had won four of its previous five games away from home. Barcelona had three wins in its last five games at Camp Nou.
Pedro, La Pulga and Xavi all scored one goal each in a 3-2 victory. Ronaldo and Angel di Maria gave Madrid two very important away goals that would help them clinch the title at home with a 2-1 win.
A goal by CR7 on the road was vital to give Real Madrid a chance to win the Supercopa at home
The first out of the last five derbies Los Merengues have played on the road was before Madrid won its last La Liga title in 2012. Sami Khedira gave his team the lead in the first half. Alexis Sanchez tied it in the second half but only three minutes later CR7 gave Madrid a 2-1 victory.
