JAKARTA - Quique Setien has officially served as head coach of Barcelona to replace Ernesto Valverde since Monday. One of the important tasks of a Los Blaugarana leader is to beat Real Madrid.
The first match of El Clasico took place at the Camp Nou last month. At that time the two teams shared one point because no goals were scored. How is Setien's record at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu?
As it turned out, Setien had a pretty good record. He hasn't lost against Real Madrid in all three visits to the Bernabeu. To be precise, he posted two consecutive wins when beating Real Betis and grabbed a draw against Las Palmas.
In the 2016-2017 season, when Los Blancos won a double title; La Liga and the Champions League, the team from Kanari Island won 3-1 up to 86 minutes. However, Cristiano Ronaldo forced the match to end in a 3-3 draw through his brace.
Setien's first win at the Bernabeu came the following season with Betis. At that time, the victory was won in the last minute through Antonio Sanabria's single goal.
A year later, the Andalusian club beat Los Blancos 2-0 through goals from Loren Moron and Jese Rodriguez. This is Setien's last match as head coach of Los Verdiblancos.
Meanwhile, in terms of head-to-head against Zinedine Zidane, the Los Blaugarana coach got the balance with two wins, two draws and two defeats.
Setien is contracted by Barca until June 2022. To convince the Catalan club officials that the duration of the contract is feasible, he must prove it on March 1 in the second volume of El Clasico.
