What They're Saying

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema (via Inside Spanish Football): "I always give everything on the pitch. It doesn't matter what competition I play in, although I seem to have more luck when it comes to goals in this one. Playing against Barcelona is always difficult, but we're feeling good and we're going to win."

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta (via Inside Spanish Football): "I don't know who will have possession. It will be a footballing battle. You have to be better at everything to beat Madrid. Whether Bale plays or not will change their style of play a little, but it won't change our style. Madrid wants to have the ball and hit us on the counter. We also want to have the ball because that minimizes their danger."
