We can't fear Barcelona, we're Real Madrid - James Rodriguez

The 24-year-old remained defiant about his team's chances in El Clasico despite the loss to Sevilla, while revealing his satisfaction at being back from injury

James Rodriguez insists Real Madrid must put aside their recent 3-2 defeat to Sevilla when facing Barcelonain El Clasico in a fortnight, stating his side have nothing to fear.

Los Blancos saw their unbeaten start to life under Rafael Benitez ended on Sunday at Ramon Sanchez Pijuan, allowing Barcelona to go three points clear at the top of La Liga following their 3-0 win over Villarreal earlier.

However, James - who celebrated his comeback from a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a goal against Sevilla - states his side must simply focus on stating united and bouncing back with victory in the Clasico."It's easy to name names now, but when the team wins, we do it together, and when we lose, we also lose together," he told reporters after the match. "We'll have to see what happens and be ready for our next match.

"They're [Barcelona] on form, but we have nothing to fear, we're Real Madrid. It's going to be an interesting match.

"I felt good [coming on against Sevilla]. I hadn't played for 60 days. I want to contribute and help the team win."

Rodriguez has been called up for Colombia's 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Argentina.

And, despite previous disputes between his club and country over his fitness levels, the playmaker has indicated he is ready to play in the upcoming internationals.

"I'll be there with them [Colombia]," the 24-year-old confirmed.
