El Clasico is finally here. Later on Sunday, Barcelona will take to the pitch to face Real Madrid in a game which will weigh heavily on the title race. An away win will see the Blaugrana reenter the race, whilst a home win will surely put the league crown out of the Catalan giants reach.
The game will also see two of the best players – Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi – go head-to-head. Who’ll come out on top? Here we took at their good, bad, and ugly stats ahead of El Clasico.
