One major reason why El Clasico is so special is that it has never been a one-sided affair. In fact, the clash has always lived up to its name, with great intensity and a constant fight for prestige.

Barcelona and Real Madrid have very close records in this great game. However, when it comes to selecting a winner, Los Blancos have a very slight edge over their rivals.

The two teams have met 237 times in all competitions. Los Galacticos have won 95, Barca have won 92, and they have played 50 draws. Los Blancos have more goals (401) than their bitter rivals' (386) in this intense fixture.

Real Madrid also dominates the fight for the victory with the biggest margin. They defeated the Catalans 11-1 on June 29, 1943. Barcelona's largest victory came on 24 September 1950 when they defeated Los Blancos 7-2 in an interesting encounter.
