After Real Madrid's refusal to pay tribute to their bitter rivals, Villarreal decided to pay their respects to the La Liga champions.

At long last, Barcelona got the homage they deserved from one of their peers.

After a cringe-worthy Guard of Honor performed on the first-team by their staff members, Villarreal decided to honor the tradition of performing this gesture to the current champions, regardless of any existing grudge or rivalry.

Before today's game began, Villarreal broke La Liga's protocol to perform the Guard of Honor for Los Blaugranas, who stepped into the pitch with the names of their spouses or girlfriends on their backs, instead of their own names.

Ultimately, this gesture by Villarreal earned them some praise from Los Blaugranas. Have a look at this moment showcasing the true meaning of Fair Play.
