Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will play next Saturday, April 10 from 9:00 p.m. the classic history number 246. The numbers, however, could not be more even: 97 victories for the whites and 96 for the Catalans, in addition to 52 draws.
The last two victories for Zidane’s men have reversed Barcelona’s privileged position, that after defeating Real Madrid at home with a solitary goal of Ivan Rakitic two seasons ago they were positioned as the team that had taken the most classics (96-95). The previous course, the Catalans they were not able to win in either of the two commitments, and the defeat harvested at the Camp Nou last October has brought the whites back to the throne.
In these almost a quarter of a thousand matches, more than 800 goals have been celebrated: 408 for those from the capital and another 400 for Catalans. The whites, in addition, have reaped more victories than the Catalans in LaLiga (74-72), Champions League (3-2) and Spanish Super Cup (8-4), but not in the King’s Cup (12-16), a competition in which FC Barcelona clearly dominates in terms of titles in Spanish football.
The Messi factor, key
If the Classics of the last decade have been characterized by something, it is by the Leo Messi factor. The Argentine has meant a before and after for the club and Spanish and European football, and of course also for the Classics. Since making his debut with the first team, FC Barcelona has won 20 wins to Real Madrid’s 15, as well as 12 draws. It has also influenced the total number of goals (86-67). Without going any further, the Argentine star has the white team in fourth position as a favorite victim with 26 goals in 44 games.
Curiously, the Argentine star is better at Madrid in his field than at Camp Nou. More than half of the goals he has scored for them have been at the Bernabéu.
Maximum equality at the degree level
Where FC Barcelona does not dominate over Real Madrid is in the number of titles. Despite the disagreements in terms of competitions already extinct and the white dominance in Leagues and Champions League, the reality is that the azulgranas, in total, only have one less title than those of the capital (92-91).
Last season’s League, which ended up in the hands of Zidane’s men, served to tie the tie. Both are the seventh and sixth teams in the ranking of the most successful clubs, behind Celtic, Rangers, Al-Ahly, Peñarol and Nacional, which exceed one hundred.
