'Barcelona have Messi but we have our own weapons' - Madrid looking forward to Clasico showdown, says Zidane

Zinedine Zidane is aware of the threat a Lionel Messi-led Barcelona outfit will pose in Wednesday's Clasico, but insists that Real Madrid have their "own weapons" to utilise.

The Spanish champions will meet the Blancos for the first time this season at Camp Nou in midweek, with the Liga title race delicately poised 16 fixtures into the 2019-20 campaign.

Barca sit top of the table at the moment on goal difference ahead of Madrid, who missed the chance to seize the initiative when they took in a trip to Valencia on Sunday.
