Real Madrid vs. Barcelona: Top 10 El Clasico scorers of all time including Messi, Ronaldo, Benzema

El Clasico and a glut of goals go hand in hand, and the latest battle between Barcelona and Real Madrid was equally frenetic, but it was Hansi Flick's Blaugrana who came out on the correct end of a five-goal thriller.

The Catalan giants had demolished Athletic Bilbao 5-0 in their Supercopa de Espana semi-final, while Xabi Alonso's Real only just edged out city rivals Atletico Madrid 2-1, and the men in white would succumb to Barca's attacking brilliance.

Thanks to a double from Raphinha and a strike from evergreen centre-forward Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona conquered Real Madrid 3-2 in Saudi Arabia, thus claiming the Spanish Super Cup title for a record-extending 16th time.

Gonzalo Garcia and Vinicius Junior bagged the ultimately inconsequential goals for Real Madrid, and the latter's strike took him up to eight in total in El Clasico, meaning that he is close to breaking into the all-time top scorers list for this fixture.

Vinicius still has some way to go to rub shoulders with the El Clasico elite, though, as here, Sports Mole counts down the 10 highest scorers in official matches between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
