Head To Head – FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid are currently enduring a six-match winless streak against their bitter rivals, stretching back to the Spanish Super Cup double-header at the beginning of the 2017-18 campaign.
In the league alone Madrid have not beaten Barcelona since a 2-1 triumph at Camp Nou in April 2016 – one of only four victories from the 19 La Liga Clasicos over the course of the decade, compared to 11 for Barca.
The corresponding fixture last season saw Suarez steal the show with a fine hat-trick in a 5-1 win for Barcelona, who ran riot despite being without Messi.
