REAL MADRID V BARCELONA PREVIEW: INIESTA TARGETS CLASICO PERFECTION By Chris Myson The new Blaugrana skipper hopes to cap his first Clasico with the armband with a perfect performance and victory over their fierce rivals Andres Iniesta says Barcelona will need to produce a performance that is close to perfection if they are to beat Real Madrid in the Clasico. Saturday's clash at the Santiago Bernabeu is set up perfectly, with the sides first and second in La Liga and hoping to have fully fit squads available. Sergio Ramos is expected to play through the pain barrier with a shoulder problem for hosts Madrid, who have recently welcomed back Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and James Rodriguez to fitness. Barca have been without Lionel Messi with a knee problem since September, but their Argentine talisman looks increasingly likely to be passed fit, as does Ivan Rakitic (calf). Iniesta will captain his side against Madrid for the first time and is targeting an away victory that would move them six points clear of their fierce rivals at the top of La Liga. "These are very unpredictable games, two teams with the kind of player who can change a game at any moment," he said. "If there is one thing we need to be clear about it is ourselves. We have our idea of playing football, we have our way of organising our play and we shouldn't make any mistakes which give them a chance. "Let's just hope it is a great spectacle and that we play a great game as that would be a big step towards getting a good result. It is my first Clasico as captain but there is no need to motivate people for this game. READ MORE | How Barca could line up against Real Madrid "We have to play a game which is practically perfect, as they can cause us damage too. We have to play well to counter their game. "But rather than thinking about what Real Madrid do, we have to be clear that we have to be the protagonists, dominate and take the chances we get while minimising the mistakes we make." Madrid come into the game under pressure. Rafael Benitez's performance as head coach has come under scrutiny amid a slump in form from star forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who has only netted in four of his side's 11 league games in 2015-16. Defeat to Sevilla last time out was Madrid's first in the league this season and the returning Bale hopes he can make a positive impact in such a crucial contest, as he did in the Copa del Rey final between the sides in 2014. He said to Bwin : "The goal against Barca in the Copa del Rey is among my most favourite of my career and it is one that will be etched in my memory for a long time. "My speed and strength make it hard for defenders, so that is always a plus for us. I have to keep giving my very best and training hard in order to help the team win. "We are on a good run of form and have only lost one match so far, although there is room for improvement. I hope we improve over the course of the season and go on to win the title. "I have been out with injuries for maybe six weeks now, so I haven't played as much as I would have liked but I feel strong and fit going into this game." The home side has won in three of the last five league Clasicos, with Luis Suarez netting the winner in a 2-1 win for Barca at Camp Nou in the last meeting in March. |

Projected lineups, El Clásico
2015: Real Madrid vs
FC Barcelona Will Messi and Benzema start? Will James? Marcelo, Keylor Navas, Sergio Ramos and Benzema are all available, according to Benítez. Still, are they fit enough to start? Real Madrid need them, so Benítez will most likely take his chances and let them play in Real Madrid's most important game of the 2015/2016 season so far. Real Madrid: Keylor, Danilo, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Kroos, Luka Modric, James, Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema. Barcelona: Claudio Bravo , Jordi Alba , Jeremy Mathieu, Gerard Pique, Dani Alves; Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar It would be strange to see Messi on the bench even considering that he has been out for the last 2 months with a knee injury. All things considered, both teams appear to be healthy and ready to go, so neither Benítez nor Luis Enrique will be able to make any kind of excuse after the game. Expect a game played with a lot of intensity between these two rivals. |

El Clásico Facts • In the last nine league Clásicos, both sides have managed to score which makes it the second longest such sequence, after the two teams did so on 13 occasions between 1946 and 1952 • In the last seven Madrid-Barça fixtures in the league, the Catalans have gotten the better of the side from the capital with four wins, one draw and two defeats. If all competitions are considered, Barça again are on top with six wins, three draws and three defeats. • Madrid and Barça have met in Week 12 of La Liga on seven occasions. The blaugranes have won the last three (2004, 2005 and 2009) and did not concede in any of those matches. • Andrés Iniesta has made the most Clásico appearances of any Barça player currently in the squad, with 31 matches against Madrid in all competitions. The Barça player with the most appearances in the fixture is Xavi Hernandez who featured 42 times against Madrid with a record of 17 wins, 12 draws and 13 defeats. • Rafa Benitez has faced Barça on 12 occasions, as manager of Valladolid, Extremadura, Valencia and Liverpool: seven wins, one draw and four losses. Lionel Messi is closing in for the most La Liga Clásico goals. In his 18 matches against Madrid, he has scored 14 times, the same number as Alfredo Di Stéfano. Also of significance is the fact that the Argentine has scored eight of those in the capital. • Real Madrid have not lost in their last 22 league matches at home (19 wins and three draws). • Barça have scored in their last 15 league matches on the road (41 goals with an average of 2.7 per game). • The current top three scorers in La Liga belong to either Barça or Madrid. Neymar Jr. is top of the pack with eleven goals, Luis Suárez follows with nine while Cristiano Ronaldo has eight. |

Why are there sweeping rumours about Perez's plan to sack Benitez should Madrid lose this match? It's only a three-point difference and wouldn't exceed six no matter what happens later tonight . But I think this is about Ronald's disillusionment towards Benitez's defensive obsession on field. |
