Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann claimed his first El Clasico will hold few surprises because the former Atletico Madrid star plans to draw on past derby experiences.
LaLiga leaders Barca have the chance to open up a three-point advantage when second-placed Real Madrid arrive at Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Ernesto Valverde will hope Griezmann continues his good scoring form and the France international, a veteran of multiple Madrid derbies, appeared relaxed ahead of his first taste of Spanish football s showpiece fixture.
It s nothing out of the ordinary. At the end, they re an opponent we re fighting for top spot with, Griezmann said, courtesy of LaLiga.
At Atletico it was already very important for the fans, it was a derby and now it s El Clasico.
