Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is excited ahead of his first El Clasico.

Real host Barcelona on Sunday.

Tchouameni said: “I'm thrilled to be playing in my first Clásico at the Bernabéu in front of our fans. It's a special game, the biggest in the world. Both teams will go out to win it, we're going to give it our best and do everything we can to come out on top.

"It's going to be a real battle against a good team. We have to be strong in all areas and show our quality if we're going to get the win. We're Real Madrid and we don't want to lose a single game. We're in good shape and we want to keep it up.

"The gaffer is focused on our team. We trained today like we do every other day. Like the coach said, we have to train just the same as we did last week, or we will next.

"I thank the fans for all their support since the start of the season and we're going to give it everything to win this match. Hala Madrid."
