Ahead of the latest Clasico showdown between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, let’s check out the 10 top-scorers in arguably Europe’s biggest fixture.
The 247th Clasico between arch-rivals FC Barcelona and Real Madrid takes place at Camp Nou on Sunday afternoon in La Liga.
Despite there being no more Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, this one may prove to be one of the most decisive meetings. Only two points separate the two clubs in La Liga, meaning neither one of them will give the other an inch at Camp Nou.
Karim Benzema will hope to be on target and break into the top 10 list of the highest scorers in Clasico history. The Frenchman is currently level with Hugo Sanchez on 10 goals in 39 games against Barcelona, although he still has some way to go to rival Messi’s record tally of 26 goals.
The now-Paris Saint-Germain star supplied 26 goals and 14 assists in 45 matches against Real Madrid before his surprise departure in the summer. Next up on the list, and to nobody’s surprise, is Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese ace is joint-second on this list alongside fellow Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano, having scored 18 goals in 29 Clasicos between 2009 and 2018.
