Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas is expecting a backlash from Barcelona when the two meet again in the league on Saturday after Madrid's 3-1 victory over the Catalans on Tuesday.

The Spanish champion booked its place in the Spanish Cup final with a complete performance that restricted Barca to very little going forward and contained its usual lightning speed on the counter attack.

But Casillas believes he knows many of his international colleagues in the Barca side too well to think they will take defeat lying down.
