'Anyone who thinks the Clasico will be easy is wrong,' Vidal warns

Aleix Vidal appeared in a press conference on Thursday to analyse this weekend's Clasico against Real Madrid at Camp Nou on Saturday. "It's obvious that to win would strike a huge blow [in the title race]. But if anyone thinks it will be easy, they are mistaken. It will be tough to repeat the result from the first meeting," the former Sevilla man warned, adding that at the Bernabeu "we saw a really superior Barça side." 

"It is a dream to be involved in this game from the inside and I hope I can play a part. It is just another game, but at the same time it's a special one," he said. And when asked if Saturday's meeting will be watered down because of Barça's points advantage, he responded: "We have to leave that to the side." 

Asked if he feels there's a state of euphoria around the club at the moment, he took advantage of the question to say that euphoria is a positive thing. "Luckily, I noticed the euphoria the first day I arrived. It's a perfect dressing room. Everyone would sign up to be in the situation we are in," the man from Puigpelat said. 

"We dont' worry about what the other teams do. We are a step away from La Liga and we depend on what we do ourselves," he added before praising the MSN. "Luis [Suarez], Leo [Messi] and Ney [Neymar] are the three best forwards in the world. The tiredness from the international break stays in the background, because the motivation [for the Clasico] is bigger." 

Finally, he hopes to be able to dedicate a Clasico triumph to Johan Cruyff. "We hope to be able toast him with the best performance possible and by winning the game."
