Barca to chase Real record
(03-14 19:09)

Back on track in Europe, Barcelona will return to chasing history in the Spanish league with Real Madrid's point record still in reach.
Barcelona is well on its way to dethroning Madrid for the league title with a 13-point lead with 11 games to go, but the Catalan club will need a near perfect run-in to surpass Madrid's milestone of 100 points from last season, AP reports.
Barcelona enters Sunday's home game against Rayo Vallecano with 71 points, meaning it must win 29 of 33 to match Madrid's feat from last season.
Lionel Messi scored twice to help Barcelona rout AC Milan 4-0 on Tuesday and become the first team to overturn a 2-0 away loss from the first leg in the Champions League.
