For former Barcelona players, the most hated figure at Real Madrid in recent years has been uncovered.
Speaking on Catalunya Ràdio, pundit Javier Miguel says the former Real player who Barca despised was Xabi Alonso, now of Bayern Munich.
During his time at Real, Xabi left Barca players furious with his antics, including Xavi, who refused to share publicity shots with the former Liverpool man and lobbied Vicente del Bosque to ban him from the Spain team.
Barca players were convinced Xabi set out to hurt them in tackles, Miguel also claimed he spat at Andres Iniesta in the semifinals of the 2011 Champions League.
Miguel says Xabi even mocked Barca ace Javier Mascherano, saying: "You shut up, you at Liverpool worked for me..."
Real go to Barca this weekend for the first El Clasico of the season.
