Star man Luka Modric will come up against many of his club team-mates for the visitors, and international team-mate - and Barcelona player Ivan Rakitic - is happy to have the Real Madrid man on his side.

"It's a great challenge to play against Luka in the Spanish league and it's even better to play with him for our country," Rakitic said. "Hopefully we will get to enjoy him a little bit more."
