Zidane could become the first Real Madrid coach to win three consecutive Clasicos since Alfredo di Stefano, (four between 1983 and 1990 over two eras).
Ernesto Valverde has lost each of his two competitive Clasicos as a coach and could become the second Barcelona manager to lose his first three (Patrick O’Connell in 1940, four straight defeats).
Ronaldo has scored 17 goals against Barcelona in all competitions since he joined Real Madrid and could equal Di Stefano as the all-time top Real Madrid scorer in El Clasico history (18).
Lionel Messi is the top scorer in El Clasico history in all competitions (24 goals), in La Liga (16) and at the Bernabeu (14).
Real Madrid are 11 points behind Barcelona – this is the biggest points difference for the first league meeting between the two sides since three points were awarded for a win in 1995-96
