Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde is excited ahead of today's clash at Barcelona.

Valverde says the El Clasico is always the game he dreamed of playing in.

He said, “You always dream of playing in these types of games and even more so for Real Madrid.

"You always have to aim as high as you can and I think the highest is for Madrid in these types of games. Now that I can do that I really enjoy it.

"I've been buzzing since the end of the game against Shakhtar. Since then I've been thinking about the match and whether I get to play or I'm on the bench I'll support my teammates and the team."
