Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has warned his team mates Barcelona will be out for revenge in Saturday's El Clasico after their Copa Del Rey exit.
Los Blancos came away from the Nou Camp on Tuesday night with a famous 3-1 win that saw them advance to the final of the Copa del Rey.
Two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and one from Raphael Varane saw Real upset the La Liga leaders on their own turf after the first leg at the Bernabeu had finished 1-1.
The two giants of Spanish football are set to quickly renew acquaintances again this Saturday in Madrid when they meet in the league, a game Barca are 2.25 to win, with Real 2.90.
Having been dumped out of the Copa del Rey by their biggest rivals Casillas is predicting the Catalan club will come out firing on all cylinders this weekend in an attempt to gain a measure of revenge.
"I know several players from Barcelona and I know they are competitive. We have to be aware that in the league, when we do not win, the fans suffer and it is our duty to fight in every match and the next one is against Barcelona," he said.
The visit of Barcelona to the Bernabeu is the second in a run of three huge games for Jose Mourinho's men, with a trip to Manchester United to come on Tuesday.
Real head to Old Trafford for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie hoping they can produce a similar performance to the one that saw off Barcelona in the Copa del Rey.
A repeat of the scoreline from the Nou Camp will see Real advance to the quarter-finals at the expense of one of their main rivals, and Casillas is confident his team mates have that kind of performance within them.
"We have to transfer this to the match against Manchester United. It is also 1-1 and we have to score and keep a clean sheet. That's the aim that we're going with," said the Spain goalkeeper, who is currently sidelined through injury.
"Manchester United know how to play football, it is a difficult place to go to and we have to take what we have done (against Barca) to Old Trafford."
United are 3.00 to beat Real next week, with the visitors 2.30 and the draw 3.60 in the full-time result market.
