3 reasons why Barcelona MUST win El Clasico

#2 The Unbeaten Run

Barcelona v Leganes - La Liga — The Catalans are yet to taste defeat in La Liga this season

Barcelona had an amazing campaign this year. The Blaugrana have been very impressive since the beginning of the season, with a lot of eye-catching performances in the Spanish top flight.

The club is yet to taste a single defeat in La Liga this term. Out of their 34 league matches this season, they have won 26, drawn 8 and lost none in the Spanish top flight. They are the only club to have achieved such a record across Europe's top 5 leagues this season.

However, their unbeaten run will face a big test when they lock horns with their arch-rivals, Real Madrid on Sunday. After humiliating Los Blancos at the Bernabeu in December, manager Zinedine Zidane and his men will be planning for revenge and stopping Barcelona's unbeaten run will be a great one.

The Catalans have just 4 matches left to match the invincibles, therefore, this game is a 'do or die' affair for them. They need to put in a great performance and ensure they win the El Clasico on Sunday.
