Real Madrid playmaker Rafael van der Vaart has claimed that defeating Barcelona is on a par with winning the Primera Division title.
The former Hamburg player is gearing up for Sunday evening’s crucial clash at the Camp Nou, in the knowledge that a win would send Los Blancos four points clear in the table.
The Dutchman reckons that defeating the Blaugrana would be as good as lifting the trophy come the end of the season, and speaking in his native publication Bild am Sonntag, he said of the match, “We must forget the defeats that we suffered last season, because they hurt a lot.
“I think we have a good chance of defeating them, it’s almost as valuable as winning the league.”
Van der Vaart has been on the periphery of the first team this season following the new additions in the summer, and German giants Bayern Munich have been linked with a bid for the player, who is contracted to the club until 2013.
He had initially not been considered a part of coach Manuel Pellegrini’s plans, but has recently found himself on the bench, and was a second half substitute in the match versus FC Zurich in midweek.
