Madrid ready for united clash - Pepe

The Spanish champions even had the luxury of resting a number of key players as Jose Mourinho made seven changes from the side that had beaten Barca 3-1 in the Copa del Rey in midweek and Pepe believes that only goes to show the incredible wealth of options Mourinho has to choose from.

"We have hit our best form. Apart from (Iker) Casillas we have everyone available and the manager has great solutions on the bench as today showed," he said.
