Real Madrid won only one of the last five matches in La Liga, having suffered three defeats, but Barcelona's head coach Ernesto Valrde believes that this can make the Blancos only more dangerous.

"Real can be even more dangerous. They will come to fight us. Although they are in a crisis, they will want to demonstrate their strength, and they have it, because they have great players, "said Valverde.

"We performed well without Messi. It was interesting for many to see how we can manage without him.. It was in everyone’s mind, but everything worked out really well. ”.

"We always play as a team.

We have a recognizable style, although Messi does add incredible quality to us.. If not, we should replace it.. In the match with Inter, we made the right decision.. We hope Leo will be back soon, we all miss him. ".

After nine rounds, Barcelona scored 18 points and heads the Spanish championship standings, while Real ranks seventh, scoring four points less.
