Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has tried to play down the significance of tomorrow's Clásico with Barcelona by reminding fans there are only three points at stake. The two teams have had contrasting fortunes in La Liga so far this season. Leaders Barça boast a 100 per cent record and are already eight points better off than defending champions Madrid after six matches. However, Mourinho's men have shown signs of turning a corner recently, not least with a 4-1 rout of Ajax in the Champions League in midweek. And the Portuguese coach admits their league ambitions far outweigh those of simply beating their bitter rivals at the Nou Camp. "Real Madrid-Barça is a match that we love to play. They probably do too," he told American channel beIN Sport TV. "That means that a Clásico is a little more than other normal league matches. Football lovers all over the world stop when Barcelona play against Real Madrid. The number of viewers for the last Spanish Supercopa showed that there was more interest than for many Champions League matches." From Fifa
