Tchouameni is in a confident mood ahead of the blockbuster clash on Sunday, and he has disclosed his first memory of the duel.

“I’m very happy to play in my first El Clasico at the Bernabeu in front of the Madrid fans”, as per reports from Marca.

“It’s a special match, the most important in the world. Both teams want to win, but we are going to do everything to win.

“When I think of El Clasico, my first memory is the celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo asking for calm when scoring at the Camp Nou.”

Ronaldo scored the winning goal as Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid recorded a famous 2-1 victory over Pep Guardiola's Barcelona at the Camp Nou in April 2012.

The Manchester United superstar is the joint-highest scorer for the Los Merengues in El Clasico history, with 18 goals.
