Barcelona midfielder Deco has stoked clasico controversy by saying team-mate Samuel Eto'o is currently a better player than Real Madrid's Ronaldo.
Barça striker Eto'o currently tops the Liga scoring charts with nine goals, with Ronaldo just two off the pace, and Portugal midfielder Deco says the Cameroonian's current form gives him the edge over the Brazilian.
"Ronaldo has proved time and again what a great player he is, both with Real and Brazil," said the former Porto schemer. "He's won a lot of things, but at this moment in time Eto'o is more present, Eto'o is more decisive."
Ronaldo is a doubt for the game as Real struggle with injuries, but Deco says he hopes the stars from both sides will be fit for the game.
"I want everyone to play," said Deco. "I think the most important thing is that everyone plays on both sides, that it's a good game.
"Barcelona are, at the moment, at their best this season and if we carry on like that, we'll be ready for Real and have every chance of winning."
