Madrid, Oct. 22 -- Barcelona will look to extend its perfect start to the La Liga season and open a nine-point lead over Real Madrid when the two Spanish giants meet in the season's first Clasico at Camp Nou on Sunday.
Hansi Flick's side has won all nine of its opening league matches to establish a six-point advantage over its archrival, with Atletico Madrid sitting second, five points off the pace.
