Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has revealed that Sunday's El Clasico will be treated as a final.
"An In-form Messi Is Unstoppable"
The Uruguayan made his debut for the Catalan giants in the first El Clasico of the season, where he tasted defeat, but is hoping that his side can keep up their current form to get revenge.
Suarez believes that every El Clasico reminds him of a final, because of the intensity and the spirit it's played in.
"It's a final because Real Madrid-Barcelona games are always played in that spirit, with a lot of intensity and strength.
"They are very intense games, but we are also aware that anything can happen these days in La Liga.
"What's great about La Liga nowadays is that every team provides tough competition and I don't think that the Clásico will actually be all that decisive."
They Uruguayan insisted that to play well in El Clasico, you need to go out and enjoy it, but also concentrate, because things can change quickly.
"You need to enjoy it and concentrate on trying to do as well as possible to try and win the game. That sort of game means a lot for morale.
"In terms of motivation, it gives you a lot of confidence and we hope that it will be a good show for spectators."
Suarez has played 27 matches for Barcelona so far this season and has scored 13 goals, while assisting in 15 more.
