El Clásico is upon us! Barcelona and Real Madrid face off in the biggest football match on the planet this Saturday, and the visitors have already named their squad for the trip to Camp Nou:


Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla, Ruben Yáñez.

Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Nacho Fernandez, Marcelo

Midfielders: James Rodriguez, Casemiro, Mateo Kovacic, Luka Modric, Marco Asensio, Isco

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Lucas Vázquez, Mariano


Absolutely no surprises from Zinedine Zidane. With Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale and Álvaro Morata all missing out through injury, these are the 19 best players available for Los Blancos, and they will be in uniform, except for third goalkeeper Ruben Yáñez.
