Barcelona forward Ferran Torres thinks his side are on a good level ahead of their clash against Real Madrid later this week.
The second Clasico of the ongoing La Liga season will take place on 20 March and will have huge consequences for both sides. While Los Blancos are required to keep winning to continue their title charge, the Blaugrana will require a win to consolidate their grip on a top-four finish.
Speaking after Barcelona’s 4-0 thrashing of Osasuna last night Torres said:
“We know there is a Clásico, but we have to think about Thursday. We have to win there and then we’ll think about the Clásico. Madrid are at a great level, but so are we.”
The triumph against Osasuna took the Catalans back to third place in La Liga. They are now level with fourth-placed Atletico Madrid on 51 points but have played a game less.
