Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has mocked Real Madrid's "posh fans" and local rivals Espanyol.

Pique has played in many Clasicos and derbies in his career and he relishes those rivalry games against Real Madrid and Espanyol.

Xavi's return has seen an upturn in Barcelona's fortunes, with the team's most recent match being a 4-0 victory over Real Madrid, the defining moment of the new era thus far. Pique has now lifted the lid on just what the atmosphere at the Camp Nou is like right now and how he is enjoying life.

"I've had as much money as Espanyol's entire budget for a while now," former Manchester United defender Pique explained in an interview with YouTube star Jordi Wild.

"I like going to Espanyol's ground more than Real Madrid's, so I was happy when Espanyol got promoted because I get to go and play there.

"I like entering the pitch, being whistled at, then you laugh and they get even more pissed off, there's nothing like that in the world, I'd say it's better than sex.

"I enjoy it a lot more than against Real Madrid. It's a pent-up anger, a resentment for years. The fans at Real Madrid are posher and they're do-gooders.
