Los Rojiblancos will be looking to increase the gap over their local rivals when they meet in La Liga, but the Blancos icon has played down the threat posed by Diego Simeone's men
Former Real Madrid midfielder Guti believes no current Atletico Madrid player could break into his old club's first team.
The Madrid rivals are set to go head-to-head in La Liga on Saturday with Atletico second in the table, eight points behind leaders Barcelona and one ahead of third-placed Real.
And as the two sides prepare to meet at the Santiago Bernabeu, Guti - who made over 500 appearances for Real between 1995 and 2010 - has played down the quality in the Atletico side.
When asked if he would pick anyone from Atletico for the Real team, the Spaniard is quoted as saying by AS: "It would be hard. I can't think of anyone who could play for Real Madrid."
However, the former Spain international did heap praise on Atletico coach Diego Simeone.
"In my time to play at the [Vicente] Calderon it was an easy game against them. With 'Cholo' things are now much more complicated," he said.
"Atletico is one of Real's biggest rivals, but as a Madrid fan I like for them to always lose."
