Real Madrid ace Bale excited ahead of Barcelona clash

Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale says they go into the El Clasico in top form.

Real warmed up for Sunday's clash against Barcelona with a comfortable Champions League win over Schalke.

Bale said: "We're playing well, with a lot of confidence and we're on a good run. Now we have to prepare really well for the next match against Barcelona."

"Barcelona is a direct rival and we are going to try and put in a good performance and take the three points. They have very good players, but we are focused on our game and on our team because we also have very good players."
