Real Madrid goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, has insisted Cristiano Ronaldo currently better than Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo has started the La Liga campaign with 15 goals in seven games, while Messi scored seven goals in his first 8 league games.
"Ronaldo is better than Messi - he is in brilliant form at the moment," the Madrid captain told Canal Plus.
"I only want to think about our team, though.
"Our dynamic is: win, win, win. Now the world will be watching, but we are at home (against Barca) and our goal is to come away with all three points.
"We are in top form heading into the Clasico, having had eight consecutive victories. We are comfortable in any system - 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 - we know we have a great team and that's what will lead us to fight for everything this season."

Casillas had equalled Xavi's all-time appearance record in the Champions League, but bettered the Barcelona veteran midfielder by one more win.
"When I made my debut in 1999 against Olympiakos, I did not dream I was going to play so many games in the Champions League," he added.
"I will be proud of for life.
"Credit to the fans of Liverpool, they gave us a magnificent treatment, and thanks also our fans who came to see us and support us."
