Gabriel Milito: Barcelona will win

Former Barcelona defender Gabriel Milito has said that the Catalan club will triumph in this evening's eagerly-anticipated El Clasico.

Pep Guardiola's side travel to the Bernabeu three points behind Real Madrid and have also played a game more than their arch rivals.

However, Milito believes that his former club still have the edge over Jose Mourinho's men.

"I hope the same thing happens as last year - that Barca win," Milito, now of Independiente in Argentina, told Marca.

"Madrid are the opponent who can do the most damage, but I still see Barcelona winning.

"They have two different styles. They are the two best teams. With the appreciation that I have for Barcelona and my colleagues, I see them winning."

Tonight's game kicks off at 9pm GMT.
