Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane will not let an unusual build-up to El Clasico at Barcelona affect his side.

Madrid and their fierce rivals Barca will travel to the Nou Camp from the same hotel two hours before kick-off amid security concerns.

Wednesday's LaLiga game was originally supposed to be played in October but it was postponed due to safety fears surrounding the violent protests in Catalonia.

Once the football gets under way it will be an intriguing battle as both sides are level on points at the top of LaLiga.

Barcelona are ahead on goal difference, but Los Blancos are confident of continuing their good run of form and avenging a 5-1 loss in the Nou Camp last term.

"We go into the game in good shape," Zidane added. "We've been playing well for some time now and have been achieving results in all departments, both mentally and in footballing terms.

"We're enjoying a good spell. We're all focused on tomorrow night's game. In games like this you've got to produce your best throughout the 90 minutes. I hope that it's a great game.

"It's one to enjoy, regardless of what happens. We start the game with 11 v 11 and know what we're up against: a very good side, who has shown that they're just that for some time now.

"We know that they've got (Lionel) Messi, but we too have our own weapons.

"I want to see a good game of football against a Barcelona side who're performing well.

"We know what the game's going to be like and the result isn't the important thing, the important thing is that we perform for the 90 minutes, which is how we'll enjoy ourselves."

"We are watching out for things, we know what people are saying, we are just focusing on the 90 minutes.

"I think we could have played the game on the original day and there is no reason why we can't play the game tomorrow.

"It is unlikely in a situation like this that the players will meet before the game, so I probably won't see Zidane, but I have a lot of respect for him."
