Ivan Rakitic has already been one of the key figures in Louis Enriqe’s Barcelona playing at the heart of the Catalans midfield and he is enjoying fulfilling his duty. Ivan will be playing his first El Classico match and is targeting a clean sheet in this match too. Barcelona is yet to concede a goal in the La Liga fixture. Ivan Rakitic had been already successful against Real Madrid in the past with Sevilla shirt.
The Croatian mid fielder will be head to head against his international midfield partner and captain Luka Modric and he expects to get successful.
Talking with Goal.com ahead of the clash Rakitic said.” I know matches between Barcelona and Real Madrid are more heated than other games and that they are different, I’ve been fortunate enough to beat Madrid when I played for Sevilla and that’s the way I want to continue with Barcelona.”
Recites also showed faith on Suarez, who will debut in a Barcelona shirt after two months of joining Barcelona from Liverpool due to his ban for biting Italian defender Chellini in the FIFA world cup 2014. Rakitic said.“Luis is a player who will give us a lot. We’re looking forward to see him in action. We see him every day on the training ground and know he’s going to give us a lot.”
