We Have Weapons!- Real Madrid Boss Zidane Warns Barcelona Ahead Of Big Clash

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane has warned Barcelona that his side are in ‘good shape and ‘100% ready mentally’ ahead of both side’s La Liga El Clásico clash on Wednesday night at the Camp Nou Stadium.

Zidane said that the Los Blancos have ‘weapons’ to unleash against Barcelona despite the fact that Ernesto Valverde’s men got Lionel Messi in their team.

Zidane’s men head to the game following a 1-1 draw with Valencia in the La Liga on Sunday.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Zidane was quoted by Real Madrid’s official website as saying: “We go into the game in good shape. We’ve been playing well for some time now and have been achieving results in all departments, both mentally and in footballing terms.

“We’re enjoying a good spell. We’re all focused on tomorrow night’s game. In games like this, you’ve got to produce your best throughout the 90 minutes. I hope that it’s a great game”.

“It’s one to enjoy, regardless of what happens. We start the game with 11 v 11 and know what we’re up against: a very good side, who has shown that they’re just that for some time now.

“We know that they’ve got [Lionel] Messi, but we too have our own weapons. I want to see a good game of football against a Barcelona side who’re performing well.

“We know what the game’s going to be like and the result isn’t the important thing, the important thing is that we perform for the 90 minutes, which is how we’ll enjoy ourselves. We’re 100% ready.”

The kick-off time for the match is 8pm.

Willian And Pepe Could Make Smith Rowe Another Gnabry’ – Wright Fears Arsenal Exit For Talented Youngster

The Gunners great wants the management at Emirates Stadium to ensure that they do not allow another promising playmaker to slip their net Arsenal need to ensure that Emile Smith Rowe does not become another Serge Gnabry says Ian Wright, with the Gunners great concerned that regular game time for underperforming Willian and Nicolas Pepe could force another academy graduate to look elsewhere. Mikel Arteta has been putting his faith in youth lately, with a different approach favoured on the back of a poor start to the 2020-21 campaign at Emirates Stadium.

Smith Rowe has provided that during a run of three successive Premier League wins, with the 20-year-old playmaker impressing after being given an opportunity. Wright wants Arteta to resist the urge to return so-called stars to his starting XI, saying that overlookin

See The Reasons Why Governor El-Rufai Can Never Abandon Sanusi

'I Tried My Best' - Arsenal Boss Arteta Believes He Did All He Could To Include Axed Ozil

The 32-year-old did not feature for the Gunners after lockdown and was subsequently omitted from the club's 25-man Premier League squad. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta believes he did all he could to give Mesut Ozil a fair shot before he axed the German from his squad. Ozil's name was not among Arsenal's 25-man Premier League squad that was released earlier this month, which followed the playmaker's exclusion from Arsenal's Europa League squad. As the 32-year-old enters the final months of his contract with the Gunners, it now appears likely that he has played his final game for the team. Ozil did play a part for Arsenal last season, at one point starting 10 consecutive Premier League games for the Gunners before the coronavirus lockdown in March. The playmaker did not make a single appearance for Arsenal after lockdown, however, but Arteta has still insisted he gave Ozil every chance to impress before he was omitted from his team.
