FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 

CF Spotify Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain

On Sunday, May 11, 2025, another chapter of the world's most famous football rivalry will take place in Spanish LaLiga. FC Barcelona will welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou, with both teams having much to play for in this El Clásico.

Barcelona have won their last three matches against Real Madrid in all competitions. Only once in the entire history of El Clásico, between 2008 and 2010 under Josep Guardiola (five), have the Blaugrana managed to win 4 or more consecutive matches. The Catalan side thus has a chance to join Guardiola's legendary team.

However, Real Madrid have won four of their last five away matches against FC Barcelona in all competitions (1 loss), achieving the same number of victories as in their previous 19 visits to Barcelona (4 wins, 7 draws, 8 losses). Los Blancos have thus significantly improved their record at their arch-rival's ground.

Barcelona have won all three of their matches against Real Madrid this season in all competitions, with a goal difference of 12 goals scored and only four conceded. Only the Blaugrana themselves, in the 1982/83 season (5 matches: 4 wins, 1 draw), have achieved more wins in a single campaign in the entire history of El Clásico.

Barcelona have not lost any of their last 15 LaLiga games (13 wins, 2 draws) since their 1-2 defeat against Atlético Madrid on December 21, 2024. They have not gone unbeaten in more consecutive matches since a run of 19 between December 2020 and April 2021 (16 wins, 3 draws).

Real Madrid have won their last four LaLiga games and have not managed 5+ consecutive wins in the competition since a run of nine between March and May 2024.

Barcelona have scored 91 goals in LaLiga 24/25, their best attacking record after their first 34 games of the season since 16/17 (101 goals). Meanwhile, Real Madrid have conceded 33 goals in LaLiga 2024/25, their worst defensive record at this stage of the campaign since 2018/19 (38 goals).

Robert Lewandowski has scored 11 goals in 17 matches against Real Madrid in all competitions; only Lionel Messi (26) and Luis Suárez (12) have scored more against Real Madrid in the 21st Century (11 goals also for Antoine Griezmann and Samuel Eto'o).

Kylian Mbappé has scored 36 goals in 52 matches for Real Madrid this season in all competitions and could equal the best scoring record for a player in his first season with The Whites, achieved by Iván Luis Zamorano in 1992/93 (37 goals in 45 matches).

Barcelona manager Hans-Dieter Flick has won all three of his matches against Real Madrid in all competitions. Of all the managers in the history of El Clásico, only Josep Guardiola with the Blaugrana (five between 2008 and 2010) has won his first four competitive matches.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has lost 12 of his 25 games against FC Barcelona in all competitions (10 wins, 3 draws), more than against any other opponent in his entire managerial career.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
