Barcelona coach Xavi sees Sunday’s clash with Real Madrid as a one-off.
Xavi is looking forward to the match admits his side are in for a hard game, but they’ll fight for the win.
“It’s very special. It’s a tough and complicated game. Playing there is always difficult. We’re going to attack and play to get three points,” he said.
As always, there is a lot of pressure when these two sides meet, and a win would do a lot for Barcelona’s season.
“Winning tomorrow puts us in a good position to achieve our first objective, which is to get into the Champions League,” Xavi added.
“In the case of winning tomorrow, I see it as just one game anyway.
“We would be 12 points behind with a game in hand. The pressure is the same. It’s a Clasico and we want to win.”
The Barcelona doesn’t know exactly what to expect from his side’s biggest rivals ahead of the game.
“Madrid are chameleon-like. You don’t know if they will go up or down,” he stated.
“We don’t know what to expect. We’ll try to have a lot of possession and play our style of football.
“Playing at home I imagine they’ll be pressing high up the pitch all game. We have to be prepared for all facets of the game.”
