Barca midfielder confident of three points
Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure believes his club are 'superior' to Real Madrid.
The two Liga rivals meet on Sunday at the Camp Nou and ahead of the top-of-the-table clash, Toure has issued an assessment of Barca's old foes.
Primera Liga leaders Real currently sit four points clear of Barca in second place, but Toure believes his side have the edge when fully fit.
Barca have been hit by injuries over the course of this season and have been robbed of the services of star players Deco, Thierry Henry and Lionel Messi, with the Argentina ace having recently been ruled out for a month with a thigh strain.
Despite the injury concerns, Toure is confident Barca will record three points against Real at the weekend.
Negative
"We are superior to Real Madrid when our team is complete," Toure told Spanish newspaper
Sport.
"The loss of Messi is very negative for us because he is a very decisive player for Barca.
"But against Real we need to play like a team in a mindset to win.
"We are receiving many attacks from the people at Real, but it is now necessary to respond on the field.
"For us this match is very important to avoid giving Barca a big advantage in the title race."
