Sergio Ramos v Luis Suarez

Arguably Spanish football’s two most famous villains, Ramos and Suarez are players whom opposition fans love to hate and there are habitual fireworks when they face each other.

In the absence of Messi, Suarez will be tasked with providing the finishing touch. He has just one goal in his last eight outings for the Catalan side.

Central defender Ramos, heartbeat of this Real team, will be tasked with stopping him.

Real are without a win in La Liga since September 22 and if they are to get back to winning ways, the 32-year-old must shackle Suarez while not adding to his record of being sent off five times against the Catalans over the years.
