Lionel Messi scored a hat trick for the Catalan giants as they completed a comfortable victory. Pedro, midfield playmaker Andres Iniesta and young forward Bojan Krkic also contributed for Pep Guardiola’s men.
Real were not to be outdone as they destroyed Basque outfit Athletic Bilbao 5-1 at the Bernabeu. Cristiano Ronaldo netted a hat trick for Los Blancos, who will go into the El Clasico with a one point lead in the league over their bitter rivals. The other goal scorers for Real against Bilbao were Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio Ramos.
Barcelona have won the last four games between the two sides in the league. The corresponding fixture last season was won 1-0 by Los Cules, with Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring the only goal of the game. This game, as you might expect, has also been tagged as a Messi vs Ronaldo game- a battle between the two best footballers on the planet currently.
