Julen Lopetegui spoke to the press before the Clásico with a very sombre mood around Valdebebas. He said he hopes to keep breathing regardless of what happens in the aftermath of the Clásico.

The Real Madrid manager also confirmed that Carvajal was out but that they are confident with whoever plays in his place and he says that he knows perfectly well who he will pick. 

Meanwhile, Marcelo looks set to play as will Isco. The team trained after the press conference and leave for Barcelona on Saturday night before the game at 16:15 CET on Sunday afternoon.
