Real-Barca clash no worry for Spain team: coach

Fierce rivalry between Spain's Champions League contenders Real Madrid and Barcelona poses no threat to harmony in the national team dressing room, coach Vicente Del Bosque (pictured) said Monday.

League-leaders Real and second-place Barcelona, each home to several players in the Spain squad, face off Saturday in the biggest grudge tie in the league and are both vying for this season's European club crown.

"We want it to be a European championship final between Real Madrid and Barcelona," Del Bosque said Monday, playing down concerns that the teams' ferocious on-pitch rivalry could poison players' cohesion in the Spain squad.
