Barcelona captain Carles Puyol denies they're favourites for tomorrow's El Clasico against Real Madrid.

Puyol has attempted to ease the pressure on his side by insisting the home team are not favourites.

"We have great respect for Madrid," he said. "They are league leaders and that means something. They have won nearly all their games and are a difficult side.

"I think our game with them is 50-50."
