Barcelona boss Luis Enrique plays down 'MSN' versus 'BBC' talk

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique plays down claims that Saturday's El Clasico against Real Madrid will be decided by which attacking trio comes out on top.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has said that Saturday's El Clasico at Camp Nou is a match between themselves and Real Madrid, rather than a meeting of six of the world's best attackers.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar will go head to head with Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema this weekend in a clash between two of the best trios in world football.

Enrique, however, has insisted that neither attack would be able to function without "the support of the rest of the team".

"It is not a match between MSN and BBC. It is a match between two teams. For all that they are doing, the attacking tridents need the support of the rest of the team," Enrique told reporters.

Barcelona will enter Saturday's clash at Camp Nou 10 points clear of third-placed Real Madrid in the La Liga table.
