While Neymar and everybody else thinks Lionel Messi is the best player in the world, you have Cristiano Ronaldo voting for himself, Messi-haters voting for Xavi and Xavi himself voting for Paul Scholes (which, in a nutshell, tells you all there is to say about ‘votes’).

But the best part about El Clasico this season is that you will truly get to see two the best teams in the world, with several of the best players in the world (finally there’s more to Madrid than just Ronaldo) going head to head – and the El Clasico Stats back this up.

While we wait, here are some great videos to help you build up to the best match of the weekend:
