José Mourinho has played down comparisons between Real Madrid and Barcelona ahead of Sunday's El Clasico. According to ANSA, the coach said it would be "unfair" to compare the two sides, while RMC Sport quotes him as saying that "Mourinho's Real Madrid wins titles."

The Portuguese tactician also dismissed the need for a specific plan to stop Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, as reported by Sports.fr. However, El Español suggests Mourinho has a tactical recipe to expose Barcelona's weaknesses.

Real Madrid travel to the Camp Nou needing a win to avoid falling nine points behind their rivals, according to El Español. Rodri, speaking to DAZN, warned that Madrid will arrive with a "revengeful" mindset, as reported by But Football Club and Foot Mercato.
