Schuster pays the price as Real turn to Ramos
"It is impossible to win at Barcelona. They are devastating. I think it is their year. We will try to put on a good show, we won't be able to do more than that."

But can Ramos guide Real to El Clasico glory? At 2100 GMT on Saturday, we will find out as two of football's great rivals meet once again.
