Real Madrid players narrowly escaped injury on Sunday when the team bus was attacked as it arrived in Barcelona ahead of El Clasico.
Around 2,000 Real fans were at El Prat airport to greet Jose Mourinho and his players but as the coach drew up to the Juan Carlos I hotel stones and bricks were thrown.
Raul Albiol and Alvaro Arbeloa were fortunate not to get hurt as glass shattered by their seat while a member of the Real security staff was hit on the head but not seriously injured.
As the tension was cranked up ahead of the match between the fierce rivals tonight (Monday) Barcelona midfielder Xavi said: 'When you win this game it is like an orgasm, like a casino win. Your heart skips a beat. But if you lose...
'I remember a few years ago when we won 6-2 in Madrid and it was an unforgettable feeling of superiority. At the end of the match you saw the Real players talk to each other and the expression on their faces said it all.'
Real go into the game unbeaten under Mourinho, winning 15 of their 19 matches since the former Chelsea boss took charge.

Last year, as coach of European Champions Inter Milan, Mourinho masterminded the Italians' victory over Barcelona.
He is also a former employee of the Catalan giants and he said: 'I won at the Nou Camp with Chelsea and with Inter but the past does not matter.
'The Nou Camp will not forgive me that I took their chance to play in the final at the Bernabeu stadium. I am persona non grata at Barcelona and I know my reception will be negative.'
