Barcelona players blank Real Madrid guard of honour

Barcelona players refused to give Real Madrid a guard of honour ahead of Sunday's Super Copa clash at the Nou Camp.

Given that this was the first match for Los Blancos since they claimed the UEFA Super Cup by defeating Manchester United 2-1, the Blaugrana could have paid tribute to that success, as other teams have done in the past.

However, Ernesto Valverde's players marched out onto the Camp Nou pitch at the same time as their Supercopa de Espana rivals.
