Villa: Players of "Barcos" and "Real" Respect Each Other © EuroFootball.com

At the end of November, David Villa will play in his first "El Clasico" defending the honor. The forward previously represented the "Valencia" team and claims to know quite well about the relationship between the two Spanish giants' footballers.

"Even when I played in Valencia, I saw that the players of the Barcelona and Real teams really got along well with each other," - quoted the words of the Spaniard nicknamed "El Guaje" by the magazine "Four-Four-Two."

"Of course, I don't think Xavi or Carles Puyol will ever play in Madrid, and Iker Casillas will wear Barcelona shirts, but the players of both clubs respect each other," - Villa is convinced.

According to the forward, the battle between the two Spanish superclubs will be extremely intense, but that only adds to its charm, and Villa himself assures that he is ready for it.

"Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso taught me a lot when I played in Valencia and competed against them. I think everything will be fine. Jose Mourinho is a good coach, but I believe that Barcelona has enough potential to become the champion of the "Primera" league for the third consecutive time," said the Catalonia club's forward.
