Real Madrid attacker Julio Baptista has declared himself fit for tomorrow's El Classico against Barcelona.

"Every day I have taken an important step. No longer do I have doubts. I will be at the call of the coach in case he needs me," said Baptista.

"I am at 90 percent. The injury was very complicated, but now I have great security in my knee."

He added: "It is necessary to take care of (Samuel) Eto'o on Saturday, because he is very fast. But, for me, Ronaldo at 100 percent is more decisive."
