"We will go to win because we play in La Liga at the Bernabeu", said Guardiola, revealing that he believes victory in the Clasico would represent a major step towards all but confirming the club’s title win.
"If we win we will take a major step to be champions.
"I always try to put the best team out and the Bernabeu is the Bernabeu and Real Madrid the club with the most leagues and European cups."
