Barca have Messi, we also have our weapons' - Zidane not worried about Clasico

Zinedine Zidane was in a bullish mood ahead of Real 

Madrid's trip to Barcelona for the Clasico, as he insisted 

his side have 'weapons' to dismantle their rivals.

Wednesday night's match was initially scheduled to take 

place at the end of October but it fell foul to political 

demonstrations in Barcelona at the time.

Now the game is set to go ahead and although he 

admitted the threat of Barcelona's star man, Zidane was 

confident his team have what it takes to win the clash.

'We know that we face a great team and that they have 

Messi, but we also have our weapons,' he said in his pre-

match press conference.

'Going to the Clasico together is something ... different. I 

remember when I was a player. You live for this kind of 

matches.

'I'm not worried about the Clasico. I'm happy to be able 

to play a game like that. There's a lot of talk ... but what 

people want to see tomorrow is a good game.'

In a surprising twist of events, the two sets of players 

will travel together to the stadium, despite the on-field 

rivalry.

Reacting to the news, Zidane said: 'They told us that we 

have to go to the stadium together [with Barcelona] and 

that is what we will do. The rules are the rules.'
