6/11 Fernando Hierro: Former Spanish midfielder played 37 Clasicos with Real Madrid, 25 at Liga, 10 at Copa and 2 internationally.
In case you weren’t sure, this isn’t allowed.
In addition, Madrid have helped Bale to have more of an worldwide presence.
Fortunately, Mourinho has since learned the error of his ways and has stopped placing blame on referees when things go wrong.
“Definitely”, Tebas said, confirming their impact across the Atlantic. It’s a key game in our league competition and has huge worldwide prestige.
“We’ve invited all the directors from our global rights partners to watch the game”.
“I’d like to have seen Rooney play in Spain”, said Tebas, speaking to AS.
Rumours that Tebas delivered the last part of that sentence while winking at the interviewer have not yet been proven.

Tebas has previously voiced his desire for domestic fixtures to be played overseas, and while he reaffirmed that desire he insisted El Clasico will never take place on foreign shores. Messi, who has been sidelined since September 26 with a knee injury, is struggling to get fit for the match.
