When Barcelona play Real Madrid there’s always fireworks – and we can’t wait for Sunday’s mega clash!

RONALDO REPLACEMENT Nobody’s scored more Clasico goals for Real than Cristiano Ronaldo, but someone else will have to step up to the plate at the weekend. Karim Benzema is their next current top scorer in the fixture with nine goals, while Gareth Bale scored a stunner at the Nou Camp last season! MAGIC…
