Barcelona face Real Madrid in a Spanish Super Cup semi-final in Saudi Arabia in what could potentially be a harrowing night for the Catalans.
This is Xavi Hernandez's first Clasico since becoming Barca coach and he has admitted that right now Real are far superior to his side.
While Real are flying high at the top of LaLiga, Barca are all the way down in sixth, trailing their fierce rivals by a whopping 17 points.
Carlo Ancelotti's side go into the game in confident mood after a 4-1 win over Valencia, while Barcelona were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw at Granada in their last outing, conceding an 89th-minute equaliser.
