Pundits have speculated that a win for Enrique's side at Los Blancos could see them take an unassailable lead over their rivals. However, the Barca coach has tried to take some pressure off, insisting the result will not be as significant over the course of the season. "I am not going to defend our eternal rivals but people exaggerate these things," he said. "This game won't decide the league. It's a big game and we want to beat them." He added: "We have positive feelings, not just because the game is one we identify as being very special but because of the position we are in. "We will try to minimise their potential, we know how strong they are in every department. I just want to see my team play to their top level and see if we can beat them.
