Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has made a bold prediction ahead of Sunday's El Clasico .
He has insisted that Real Madrid have virtually no chance of defeating Hansi Flick's Barcelona, given the two sides' current form.
As quoted by Mundo Deportivo , Deeney made the comments during an appearance on CBS Sports' Golazo programme.
He questioned Madrid's collective strength and ability to play as a team despite their recent 4-1 victory over Sevilla.
