FC Barcelona pass master, Xavi Hernandez, has insisted Real Madrid live off counter attacks, while the Catalan giants remain confident in their own style.
Xavi, who started the 3-1 El Clasico defeat on Saturday, admitted that his side paid for the chances they missed during the first half.
"When you waste chances at the Bernabéu, you end up paying for it. I think each team had a good half," he told Marca.
"Barcelona were good in the first. They live off the counterattack and we couldn't stop them."

The 3-1 was Barcelona's first La Liga defeat of the season and also the first three goals they conceded in Spain this campaign.
However, the Catalan giants remained on top of the log with 22 points, as many as Sevilla and one ahead of Real Madrid, and Xavi insisted the Blaugrana won't change their style.
"We believe in what we're doing," he added.
