Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is back at it again; trolling Real Madrid. But this time round, he decided to do it indirectly but the message was quite clear ahead of the much anticipated El Clasico on April 2, 2016. The La Liga leaders welcome their bitter rivals Real Madrid at the Nou Camp after thumping them 0-4 at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of the fixture last November.
But ahead of the Spanish derby, the Spain international appeared to be listening to Real Madrid’s pre-mach anthem and moments later, he said jokingly:
''I don’t recognize it.’’
He then added:
''To me, it is just another anthem.’’
Here is the video posted on his official Twitter handle:

Although he finally confessed that it was Real Madrid’s anthem, he insisted that Barcelona’s anthem is the best so far in La Liga, and that he hoped that he could listen to it until he retires.
Saturday’s fixture gives Zinedine Zidane the perfect opportunity to revenge the embarrassing first leg loss to The Blaugrana even though by then, Los Blancos were managed by former boss Rafa Benitez. This would be the first El Clasico for Zidane as Real Madrid manager, and he would want to start it off with a bang. However, statistics show that Luis Enrique’s men have quite an impressive record at home in La Liga against their bitter rivals:

With the availability of the Messi-Suarez-Neymar and Bale-Benzema-Cristiano partnership on both sides, this is one epic encounter that no one would want to miss.
