Ronaldo: Barca's home nightmare

The Portuguese striker scored 10 goals for Real in 12 appearances at the Nou Camp.

* The match between Barca and Real Madrid takes place at 10:15 p.m. today, Saturday, December 3.

The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barca is considered the biggest game in the national championship. Cristiano Ronaldo is often criticized as a small player in big games, but that seems to be wrong when considering his away goalscoring record against Barca.

Since joining Real in 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo has played in 12 El Clasicos at the Nou Camp and contributed 10 goals.

In fact, there have only been four games in which Ronaldo has failed to score. Three of those were in La Liga and one in the 2011 Champions League semi-final.

Compared to Lionel Messi, the Argentine striker has only scored five goals in those 12 matches, including two in La Liga and three in the Spanish Super Cup.

Ronaldo scored twice at the Nou Camp, both in the 2012-13 season. Once he helped Real to a 2-2 draw in La Liga. The other time he brought his team a 3-1 win in the Copa del Rey.

With eight goals in his last four La Liga games, Ronaldo is showing signs of reviving his form after a shaky start to the season, which bodes well for a tough day for Barca's defence in El Clasico today.
