Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has taken a swipe at Real Madrid ahead of their big weekend clash.

After victory over Inter Milan on Tuesday night, Guardiola declared he was confident Lionel Messi would be fit for the El Clasico and also had a dig at Real's spending.

"It's better to face such a game in victory than defeat. They are the leaders, but of course, how could they not be after spending $270 million?!!

"I'm very optimistic that Leo will play."

I wonder how much more Barcelona spent this summer compared to Osasuna, Rubin Kazan, Valencia and any other average team they drawn against? He should be sacked if he doesn't get to the knockout stages of the CL but they probably will do considering the money they spent. Ibra was a waste of money. FACT: Barca are scoring less goals with Ibra then they did last season with Eto'o. I think they would be top of La Liga if they had not spent £40 million on Ibra + Eto'o, one of the best three strikers in the world. Losers
