The whole world will witness an epic rivalry as La Liga rivals, when Real Madrid will take on Barcelona at Nou Camp tonight. With 417m euros (3.53 billion rupees) worth of talent on the field tonight, we take look at the expensive ones:
Barcelona
Neymar
Brazilian wonder-kid Neymar was signed in the summer transfer window by Barcelona for fee reported to 48.6m euros. He has already scored 3 goals for his new team and can set the stage alight when the likes of Real Madrid come calling.
Lionel Messi
Superstar Leo Messi may be a product of academy but Barcelona rate him highly. It is reported that the Catalan club have slapped a hefty tag of 100m euros to ward off any threats from the rival club.
Alexis Sanchez
Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez was signed from Udinese for a price tag of 22m euros but has failed to live up to the expectations.
Daniel Alves
The Brazilian right back has been the main stay in the Barcelona squad since his arrival from Sevilla in 2008 for fee reported worth 23m euros.
Real Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo
Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid for a whopping fee (then highest) 80m euros. Since then, Ronaldo has not looked back and is the only player to score in six consecutive El Clasicos.
Gareth Bale
After much speculation, Welshman Gareth Bale finally made a move from North London to the Spanish capital this year. His transfer fee, – 86m euros, made him the highest paid player on the planet. Will he strive to be worthy in the mother of all games tonight?
Asier Illarramendi
23-year old Asier Illarramendi moved from Real Sociedad to Real Madrid for a fee worth 34m euros. Real are known to shell out hefty sum but this coup on Illarramendi is turning out to be a masterstroke.
Isco
Spanish starlet Isco was a revelation at Malaga last season and no wonder Madrid came calling. Los Blancos paid 23m euros for his services and has already scored 5 goals.
