Former Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro has said that Saturday's "El Clasico" match between Spain's historical rivals Real Madrid and FC Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium here, is more than just collecting three points.

The former Real Madrid player and winner of the 2006 World Cup with Italy said on Wednesday: "I lived four years in Dubai and I've seen people going crazy for this match. They say they're three points, but are much more," reports Efe.

The retired defender added in televised statements that Real Madrid always enjoy a good condition at their home ground, no matter what the changes are, whether managers or players.
