The last time Real Madrid and Barcelona contested the El Clasico in October last year, Madrid were routed 0-4 at home by their Spanish rivals. It is for this reason that former Real defender Pepe wants to set the record straight when the Real Madrid Legends take on Barcelona Legends in a friendly encounter at the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday.  
 
Moments before a press conference at a city hotel yesterday, Pepe was happily posing with fans for selfies, when one eager youngster posed the question: “Pepe, will Real Madrid win tomorrow?” An unfazed Pepe shot back: “They [Barcelona] have been playing well, but we need to fix them.”

This fixture may be a friendly, but when players from these two highly successful clubs come face to face on the pitch, it’s always competitive.
