MADRID, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Declarations from Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster have thrown his side deep into crisis just six days before the Camp Nou stadium to play el Classico against FC Barcelona. The German claimed that his side cannot beat their bitter rivals in a game that could effectively end his Real Madrid's Primera Liga challenge.

Real Madrid's 4-3 home defeat to Sevilla on Sunday night left them nine points behind Barcelona, knowing that a defeat next Saturday would leave them virtually out of the title race before Christmas.
Not only was the defeat painful to bear, but Schuster saw his selection crisis deepened by two suspensions.
With defenders Pepe, Miguel Torres and Gabriel Heinze injured, Schuster had to watch as his only available left back Marcelo picked up his fifth booking of the season to be rule out of the trip to Barcelona.
Real Madrid also have midfielder Mahamadou Diarra injured, while striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. That situation was made even worse when Arjen Robben, by far Real's most dangerous player against Sevilla, was sent off for two yellow cards.
