Barcelona's coach distances himself from the noise and chooses silence before the Clasico

Liverpool defender Ronald Araujo has delivered a powerful and honest account of his battle with depression, revealing he reached a "breaking point" that forced him to step away from the game. The Uruguayan international, currently on loan at Anfield from Barcelona, admitted that the pressures of professional football and personal issues became overwhelming during his time in Spain.

Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho has dismissed suggestions that his side should already be at the same level as Barcelona, labelling such comparisons as "unfair" ahead of Sunday's showdown. The Portuguese tactician faces a tough test at Camp Nou with his team trailing the league leaders by six points in the La Liga standings.

Will Barcelona be affected?
