Lionel Messi explains why Barcelona keep beating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu

Lionel Messi has been talking about El Clasico and why Barcelona have enjoyed so much success at the Santiago Bernabeu in recent years.

The champions beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the Spanish capital in March to make it four La Liga wins in a row at the Bernabeu.

The skipper reckons Los Blancos play a different game when they are away from their home stadium which makes it more difficult for Barcelona to attack.

“When we play at the Bernabeu, many more spaces are generated. They attack us more because they have the obligation as the host team and people push them for that,” he said.
