I think the Barcelona bus might be best to take take the back road to the Bernabeu. Here is the welcome
afforded to the home team.

Spanish football writer Graham Hunter on BBC Radio 5 live on Friday: "I think Luis Suarez fits in
Barcelona's team brilliantly. He presses like Samuel Eto'o used to do at his best and it is something that
Luis Enrique has asked the whole team to do.
"Secondly when you score as many goals as he does, you walk into any side. His threat will drag defenders
away from Lionel Messi."

No room for Neymar in three of those four line-ups below.
Those are the kind of big calls you have to make when you are putting together a composite XI.

It isn't only the fancy-dan forwards who are re-writing the record books either.
Barcelona's defence has yet to be breached in eight league games, a record for successive clean sheets at
the start of a Spanish season for goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
They came quite seriously unstuck against Paris St-Germain's quality in the Champions League last month
though, losing 3-2.
Perhaps they are not quite watertight just yet...
Devastation's what you need

Norris McWhirter would be furious.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been forcing continual revisions to the record books.
And there are more landmarks on the line today.
Messi's left-footed strike in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Eibar took him to the milestone of 250 career goals
in La Liga, leaving the Barcelona man just one behind the record held by 1940s Athletic Bilbao star Telmo
Zarra.
Ronaldo has scored 15 times in seven La Liga games this season. His streak has included three hat-tricks.
Another this evening would be his 23rd in La Liga, one more than Zarra and Alfredo Di Stefano who he
currently shares the record with.
