Gerard Pique has urged Barcelona fans to keep the pig heads at home for tonight's El Clasico. Pique played down the importance of Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho's return and hopes there will be no repeat of the ugly scenes which greeted Luis Figo following his controversial switch from Barca to Madrid in 2000, when the former Portugal winger was targeted by the Catalan fans and had a pig's head thrown at him while he was taking a corner.
"Nobody liked the image of the pig's head at the Nou Camp," he said.
"I hope nothing like that happens in Monday's 'Clasico'.
"We can't control what people think about him (Mourinho), but we shouldn't give him more protagonism than he already has - which is already a lot."
Pique will also hope to keep another Portuguese quiet as he comes up against in-form Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
"We will try not to let him think or give him any space. We want to try to make sure he has a quiet day," he said.
