This is easier said than done).

History and Internet poll results have indicated that Messi clearly has an edge over Ronaldo, however the stats also show that Messi has never scored against a Mourinho led team. This is not the record you would associate with a player like Messi and he will certainly look be changing this in at least 1 one of the four El Clasicos’.

This visual treat awaits all football fans around the globe over the next month. No one is overstated the importance of the games: Barcelona is currently the out-and-out world number one team, but shifts of power can happen quickly (witness Real Madrid’s unexpected victory over Manchester United in 2000, and the subsequent rapid shift of power to the Spanish team). If the results go Real’s way, particularly in the Champions league, then Barcelona’s dominance at the top may well come to an end.
