A Real Madrid star who has been linked with Manchester City reportedly chose not to play in El Clasico.
The star was an unused substitute as Real Madrid suffered a 4-3 defeat away to Barcelona, who are now seven points ahead of them at the top of LaLiga.
It is claimed that the individual wasn't willing to feature as he didn't feel he had the energy or state of mind to play. He had previously been struggling with illness but was involved in training prior to the fixture.
Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick for Real but it wasn't enough to prevent Barcelona from securing all three points.
