FC Barcelona produced a brilliant display especially in the second half to move fourteen points clear of their greatest rivals Real Madrid. Goals from Luis Saurez, Lionel Messi and Aleix Vidal capped an emphatic night of Barca.
FC Barcelona visits Santiago Bernabeu for La Liga 2017-18's First 'El Clasico'
All is set for the first 'El Clasico' of the La Liga season. FC Barcelona goes to this match with a six point lead over second placed Atletico Madid and a big eleven point lead over fourth placed Real Madrid, even though Real Madrid have one game in their hand. A victory tomorrow will increase that lead to fourteen points and that would be an enormous task for Real Madrid to surpass even if they have a game in hand (remember that game will be played mostly at the very end of the season). The first two Clasicos of the season, the Super Cup encounters was more or less a forgettable event for Barca; but a lot have changed from the end of those two games. Barca remains unbeaten in all competition since that game where as Real Madrid has went downhill since then.

FC Barcelona made the perfect preparation for the first Clasico of the season with a brilliant 4-0 victory over Deportivo at the Camp Nou. Luis Saurez and Paulinho both struck twice to give Barca a comfortable victory over the visitors; even though had Messi was wearing his scoring boot, the Barca's goal tally would have moved close to double digits. I cannot remember a game where we hit the wood work this often and in this season we have been denied by the woodwork a whooping 27 times in all competition; most of them from Messi. Barca lost Paco Alcacer early on the match but would be happy to have all of the other players more or less available for next Saturday's encounter.
