When footballers are asked about Lionel Messi (32), praise usually follows. No matter whether teammates or opponents. Everyone gets enthusiastic about the magic flea. Or let’s say: almost everyone.

Real goalie Thibaut Courtois (27) sees no reason to praise Leo for the green clover. And also none to prepare specifically for the six-time world footballer. «He is a player like everyone else. We study him like we study a Celta Vigo or Levante player. There is no difference.”

Don’t be afraid of Messi. The royal ones would do well to keep a closer eye on the Argentinian in the Clasico. With 26 goals, he is the record scorer in the Spanish hate duel. Cristiano Ronaldo, now employed by Juve, turns 18.

Ramos: «I have huge respect»
The Messi fans on the net are of course turning the wheel. They twitter like wild, publish videos in which Courtois gets messed up at Messi atletico times.

While Messi’s goal to Courtois is not very impressive, Ramos describes it as it usually is: “I have a lot of respect for him. I think he’s one of the greatest footballers in history. I hope Sunday is not his day. That would mean we did our job. And if it will still achieve a good result, it is all the better. »

The capitals also badly need good results. Real couldn’t win the last three games in a row. Not only did you hand over the league leadership in the league, but after the first leg in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Manchester City you got the knife on your neck. And the Clasico in-house is not exactly a good omen: The last league home win against Barça was celebrated by the «Merengues» in 2014. (sag)
