Iniesta is a veritable legend of La Liga, having enamored fans the world over with his style and quality and playing in 38 El Clasico fixtures during his time at Barcelona.

The former Barca midfielder and World Cup winner is one of the top assist providers of Real Madrid-FC Barcelona in LaLiga Santander over the last 23 years, with a total of three assists.

Fans of Los Blancos fell in love with the Brazilian thanks to his exciting and tireless roaming down the flank in the 1990s and 2000s.

His power, speed and attacking ability saw him provide four assists in La Liga El Clasico fixtures during his career, in addition to a number of goals.

The left flank is definitely an area that Barcelona will look to exploit come this weekend’s El Clasico.

Left-back Jordi Alba is key to attacks from wide, and is of course among the fixture’s most prolific assist providers, with five – including one in each of last season’s encounters.

Real Madrid’s French striker, in addition to scoring goals, also knows how to link-up and provide assists for teammates.

Aside from his 10 goals vs Barcelona – including one in their last meeting last season – Benzema has provided nine assists in El Clasico in all competitions.

Sergi Roberto is the perfect example of a multipurpose player. His versatility has allowed him to play in El Clasico de La Liga both as a midfielder and as a right-back, memorably bursting forward and assisting Luis Suarez for the opening strike of a 4-0 win at the Bernabeu in 2015.

The Barca youth squad product has embraced the philosophy of La Masia of maintaining possession and being precise in passing to advance in attack.

In El Clasico matches, Roberto sits third among the top assist providers with a total of six.

Xavi Hernandez was the definition of precision when delivering the ball to his teammates.

The former Barcelona midfielder is a true legend of La Liga, playing 42 times in El Clasico.

In those games he provided ten assists, proving the difference on many occasions.

The Argentine star leads the way with most El Clasico assists this century (14).

He’s also the top scorer in El Clasico history, with 26 goals.

There isn’t much more to say that hasn’t already been said about this all-time icon – a true legend of El Clasico, without whom it’s hard to tell the story of club football’s biggest game.
