Sergio Ramos suffered a knock against Cadiz and Real Madrid lost both against Cadiz and Shakhtar Donetsk without him. Hence, Koeman believes the return of Ramos for Classico is crucial for Real Madrid’s chances. Moreover, Barca seem to be clicking into form leading up to classico in bad news for Real Madrid.

Ramos can influence the match – Koeman

KOEMAN

Koeman is taking charge of his first classico and seems confident about his teams chances. However, he believes Ramos will change the game for Madrid and said, “We are going to expect a more compact Madrid, with fewer spaces and, for them, it is important that Ramos is there. He is one of the best center-backs and has a great personality on the pitch. Ramos can influence Madrid on Saturday.”

Koeman is more keen to improve his team and said, “First, we have to prepare ourselves. They have quality on the ball. Like any team and coach, when you make mistakes you want to improve, but neither they nor we will be lacking in motivation. Their players have experience at a high level. I don’t expect a vulnerable Madrid, on the contrary.”
