Barcelona stand on the brink of La Liga history, targeting a 10th consecutive victory to start the league season.

It will surpass the mark set in 1968-69 by Real Madrid, who will have the chance to end that remarkable run on Sunday when the sides meet at Camp Nou.

Barcelona head into Sunday's El Clasico (20:00 GMT) on the back of a 4-2 Champions League defeat by Paris St-Germain, giving Jose Mourinho's men the perfect opportunity to capitalise on that setback and wreck the record bid of their rivals.
