Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has claimed that El Clasico against Barcelona has "almost" made him orgasm.

The Spaniard was responding to claims made by Barca defender Gerard Pique, who stated that the match-up between the two rivals 'gets him going'.

According to AS, when asked how he feels about the highly-anticipated game, Ramos said: "I've never reached an orgasm personally during the Clasico but almost!"

The clash is scheduled for November 21, but Ramos is an injury doubt after he hurt his shoulder after scoring in Madrid's 3-2 defeat to Sevilla on Sunday.

Three points separate La Liga leaders Barcelona and second-placed Madrid.
