The updated standings in the all-time head-to-head between Spanish football’s two biggest clubs have come to the fore online.
This of course comes fresh off Real Madrid putting Barcelona to the sword for the latest occasion.
Xabi Alonso’s table-topping Blancos welcomed their arch rivals to Spain’s capital a short time ago, for the season’s first edition of El Clásico.
When all was said and done, it was the evening’s hosts who emerged on the right side of the result, thanking goals on the part of Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham for a 2-1 triumph.
This brought to an end a dominant recent streak on Barcelona’s part in the fixture.
And it also ever-so-slightly pushed Real Madrid further ahead in the all-time standings between the two sides.
The capital giants have now racked up 106 wins in El Clásico, to Barca’s 104.
52 of the meetings between the sides have also ended in draws.
