Real Madrid is ready for United clash - Pepe

[Shola Sholaz]

Real Madrid defender Pepe has said they are perfectly prepared for the Champions League clash with Manchester United on Tuesday after they secured a second win over Barcelona in less than five days on Saturday.
.
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.
.
"We have achieved two important victories given the form and quality of the opponent we were playing and that gives us great motivation for the Manchester United game. We are happy and now we need to rest and think about the game on Tuesday."
.
Sergio Ramos' header proved to be the winner nine minutes from time after Lionel Messi had equalled Alfredo di Stefano's record of 18 goals in meetings between the two in the first-half to cancel out Karim Benzema's opener.
.
But Barca were left furious at the end when Messi wasn't given the chance to salvage a point for his side when referee Miguel Perez Lasa turned down strong penalty claims in stoppage time after Ramos appeared to have felled Adriano inside the area.
.
The appeals were so ferocious that goalkeeper Victor Valdes was shown a red card after the final whistle had gone and Pepe was quick to point out that the Barca players had let themselves down by the way they reacted towards the referee.
