Real madrid vs barcelona
El Clásico is "not like a final" insists Barcelona's Rakitic
Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic says El Clasico clashes with Real Madrid cannot be viewed as a cup final.Barça head into the game at the Santiago Bernabéu topping LaLiga with an 11-point lead over Madrid, with the city rivals of Zinedine Zidane's side, Atlético de Madrid, their closest challengers in the table. Ernesto Valverde and captain Andrés Iniesta have warned that a Barcelona win - extending the cushion over the defending champions to 14 points - would not signal the end of the title race.
