Top 10 Highest-Scorers In Clasico History
Ahead of the latest Clasico showdown between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, we have decided to review the 10 highest-scorers in Clasico history, arguably Europe’s biggest fixture!
The latest Clasico showdown will be the 246th clash between arch-rivals Real Madrid and FC Barcelona and it will take place at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium on Saturday night.

Meanwhile, the charge will be on Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi to make a difference. The Argentine is one of the greatest players in Clasico history and is the all-time leading scorer in this fixture, having supplied 26 goals and 14 assists in 44 games. In fact, he is the only active player to make the top 10 list of the highest-scorers in Clasico history.
