Real Madrid boss Ramos: Barcelona not invincible
Real Madrid coach Juande Ramos insists they can upset Barcelona at the Nou Camp.
Ramos takes charge of his first Liga fixture at Real by taking his new team to table leaders and bitter rivals Barca.
"Each team plays to its strengths in these types of games. They are for 90 minutes, with both teams well matched. In these games there is never a clear favorite," said Ramos.
"I'm not going to suddenly discover Barcelona. They're playing good football. They have a trio of good strikers, a midfield and a defence that let's them play ... they work perfectly. But we also have good players."
The former Tottenham boss continued: "Barcelona is playing excellent football, that is indisputable. The table says so. But there is no team that is invincible. If you work, you can match or exceed them.
"The quality of the players of Real Madrid is similar to that of Barcelona."

A very hard match but justice was served in the end. RM defended very well 80 min but its true that Barca looked timid and slow on the ball, the team wasnt able to play their trademark fast one touch passing game. Passes near the box were inaccurate and also attacking tridente´s timing was bad. The early goal never came it made things a lot harder to Barca, it would have totally different game if the home team scored in the first 15 min. Ramos was able to reorganise his teams leaky defence and there was not much space for Barca. The both goal keepers played a stunning match, and Messi lurked in the shadows 90 min before he scored a beautiful goal. In the first half RM tried to destroy Messi with their nasty tackles but luckily Pulga got the last laugh. It was a crucial victory and the title is again one step closer, hopefully Sevilla beats tomorrow Villarreal. Blaugrana para siempre, Forca Barca!!
Barca will win no doubt about that.
