Real Madrid defender Eder Militao says they'll be ready for Barcelona today.

Real will host Barca in the first El Clasico of the season.

Militao said, “We have to be prepared and fully focused at all times because it's a very special match and anything can happen in the Clásico.

"The team is ready. We've started the season really well and we're all focused and committed to this game.

“(Carlo) Ancelotti has encouraged me to score goals when I get the chance. I kept trying until it came off in the Getafe game.

“From a defensive perspective you have to make sure you don't come under too much pressure, and that way you're a step closer to victory. We always play with commitment and respect for our teammates in defence. It doesn't matter who plays, whether it's Nacho, Militão, Rüdiger or Alaba, we're well covered. We're going to give it all we've got to win games."
