Former Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has disclosed that he will be at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to motivate Kylian Mbappe ahead of this Sunday’s El Clasico clash against Barca.

The fixture marks the 262nd meeting between the two Spanish giants, and anticipation is at fever pitch in the capital.

Ramos, who featured in the famous rivalry 43 times during his decorated spell with Madrid, revealed he plans to speak to Mbappé before kickoff.

“You know very well that I am a Real Madrid until death and I hope that Madrid wins, that my brother ‘Kyky’ plays a good game.

“I will motivate him. I often speak with him, he is at the top level, I hope he will have a great match and that the three points will stay at home.”

Los Blancos have not beaten Barcelona since a 3-2 home victory 18 months ago, but with Mbappe on an eight-game scoring run for manager Xabi Alonso, he could be the difference maker this weekend.
