It is the kind of game that every football fan wishes to see irrespective of whether they are fans of either of Real Madrid and Barcelona or not. And this time, besides obvious bragging rights as the 2013/14 season draws to a close, there is an extra incentive – the winner gets to take home the prestigious 2014 Copa del Rey trophy.

More often than not, the the right to deride others is given to the fans of the team that won the most recent El Clasico. But objectively speaking, is it the Catalan giants or the Madridistas who have faired better overall in past El Clasicos?


Taking all competitions into account, the numbers put the capital club slightly ahead of their rivals.
