Barcelona looking to equal Real Madrid’s record in El Clasico

There is far more than just three points at stake when FC Barcelona take on Real Madrid in tonight’s El Clasico.

For Hansi Flick’s men, a victory tonight will help them seal the La Liga title mathematically and that too against their eternal rivals.

But a win will also see Barcelona draw level with their eternal rivals in the all-time Clasico head-to-head record, reports Mundo Deportivo.

Everything suggests Barcelona are the favourites heading into this game, having dominated Spanish football in the past two seasons, including a Real Madrid team fraught with dressing room unrest.

Historically, Real Madrid have enjoyed the slightest of advantages in the fixture, winning 106 meetings compared to Barcelona’s 105, while 52 encounters have ended in draws.

The Blaugrana entered the matchday with an 11-point lead and just four games remaining, meaning victory over Carlo Ancelotti’s side would officially put the championship beyond reach.
