Real Madrid's Kaka cannot wait to take on Barcelona in the Camp Nou on Sunday.

The Brazilian playmaker, who moved to the Bernabeu in a £59million switch from AC Milan in the summer, has yet to taste the atmosphere of 'El Clasico'.

While Madrid take on Zurich in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, Kaka admits the players have one eye on the Barcelona clash, which is being shown live on Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports HD1 at 6pm.

Kaka told Cadena Cope: "We are thinking about Zurich, but everyone has told me how unique the Clasico is.

Eyes closed

"Barcelona can play with their eyes closed. They know each other perfectly and play so well, but we are the leaders.

"I don't think either side is the favourite on Sunday.

"Heading into the match as the top team is good because we can open a four-point lead by winning."

On a personal level, the former Milan star thinks that he is beginning to find his best level after a spell adapting to a new country and different style of football.

Improving

"I am improving little by little. I prepared well and I am growing with the team. I am figuring out exactly what position and role I play in order to benefit the team," he added.

Meanwhile Kaka has revealed his admiration for Sevilla, who inflicted the only defeat on Real in the league last month, and in particular their wingers Diego Perotti and Jesus Navas, who caused so many problems that evening.

"I really like Sevilla. They have really surprised me. Perotti and Jesus Navas are very good," he said.
