Real Madrid star Gonzalo Higuain wants Barcelona sensation Lionel Messi to feature in the first Clasico showdown at the weekend.

The diminutive Argentina ace is struggling with a minor groin strain and his compatriot Higuain wants him to come through his injury ahead of the world famous clash.

Speaking to AS, Higuain said: "I want the best players play on my team fit, what happens with Barca is up to them.

"The important thing for us is to go with all our enthusiasm at Camp Nou. Getting a win there would be a blow to them in the table.

"These games are most beautiful when the best players are on pitch. It would be nice if he (Messi) can be on the field."
