Now that Messi is not in the Barcelona the French attacker has to his scope the possibility to turn into the best player of the duels of the culés and the merengues
The Classical, known also like the fight endless between the Real Madrid and the Barcelona, goes in in a new stage this Sunday. This is due to that it will be the first that will not have the presence of Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo from the year 2005, when The Flea appeared for the first time between the summoned in that period by Rijkaard together with Ronaldinho.
The rosarino now is part of the PSG and Christian went of the Madrid in 2018 to arrive to the Juventus just after winning his fourth Champions League with the group madridista. Anybody doubts that both marked a milestone in which it can be the elder of all the rivalries futbolísticas that has seen in the world: The Argentinian annotated him 26 goals to the Real Madrid whereas the now footballer of the Manchester United annotated him 18 to the Barça.
It looks for 'killer'
Now that both have left LaLiga, a player can demand the throne of "killer of the classical" Karim Benzema arrives to the Camp Nou like the best scorer by a lot of the two teams. Justo now, already equalises to Carlos Santillana like fourth artilleryman in the history of the merengues. Besides, it finds for the first time in his sportive career with the possibility to win the balloon of gold.
Karim, the one who at the beginning was used to to be the one who assisted to CR7, from the course of the luso has evolved more in an artilleryman, and in this course adds more goals that the two big absent, as well as eleven assistances that show his evolution from the exit of the Portuguese three years ago.
Scarce company
In the current listing of goleadores historical of the Madrid, Benzema (290 goals in total) is not only. The one who more approaches him is Gareth Bleat with 106 goals, but that will not be present in the party of the Sunday. They follow him Isco (50), Asensio (40), Marcelo (38) and Casemiro (30).
The panorama is more complicated when reviewing the staff of the culés, as the exits of Messi, Suárez, Griezmann and Neymar have left to the Catalans without his greater goleadores. In fact, the player that more goals adds between the Barcelona is Hammered (52 goals), a quite considerable register taking in account that is central and no leading.

However, the success with his selection would remain in second plane if it does a good party in the Classical, in which it adds 10 goals, what plants him in the top-10 of the best scorers that have seen in the meetings between both teams.
