Ahead of the clásico, only three Real Madrid players have scored against Barcelona at Camp Nou
Real Madrid prepare to face Barcelona today at Spotify Camp Nou in El Clásico, with a notable statistic as only three players from their current squad have previously scored at this stadium.
According to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", only three players from the current Real Madrid squad have previously scored at Camp Nou: Federico Valverde, Vinicius Junior, and Kylian Mbappé, who scored his goals at the stadium while wearing the Paris Saint-Germain shirt.
Federico Valverde's goal came during Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Barcelona in LaLiga 2020/2021, as he opened the scoring in the 5th minute before Ansu Fati equalized. In the second half, Sergio Ramos scored from a penalty, and Luka Modrić added the third goal in the 90th minute.
Vinicius Junior scored in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final of the 2022/2023 season, when Real Madrid beat Barcelona 4-0, having lost the first leg 1-0. The Brazilian opened the scoring before half-time, and then Karim Benzema netted a hat-trick in the second half. Vinicius will miss today's Clasico due to suspension.
Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick for Paris Saint-Germain in their 4-1 victory over Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 in the 2020/2021 season, before the two teams drew 1-1 in the return leg, allowing the French club to advance to the quarter-finals.
The report indicates that the two Clasico matches hosted by Barcelona in the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 seasons took place at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuïc, not at Camp Nou.
