“There are no favourites” – The Barcelona star is looking forward to the first El Clasico experience

Anticipation continues to build ahead of the first El Clasico of the season on Saturday. Real Madrid and Barcelona will go into the clash high on confidence, with both sides having heavily beaten German opposition during their Champions League exploits in midweek.

For Dani Olmo, it will be his first taste of the iconic match-up, as he joined Barcelona in the summer from RB Leipzig. Speaking to TV3 (via Marco), he spoke about the equipment, which he expected to be very tight.

“In a game like this, there are no favorites. It is the best match that is played in La Liga and in Europe. We can fight with our ideas and we want to show it.

Olmo made his return to action against Bayern on Wednesday, so he will be pushing for a starting spot at the Santiago Bernabeu. Even if he fails to be selected by Hansi Flick, he will certainly have the opportunity to assert himself for Barcelona at some stage during Saturday's showdown.
