​Ramos: No Real Madrid guard of honour for champions Barcelona

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos says they will not give Barcelona a guard of honour in El Clasico at the Nou Camp on Sunday, reports Sky Sports.

Barcelona were crowned La Liga champions after they beat Deportivo La Coruna and can go the league season unbeaten if they avoid defeat in their final four games.

But Ramos has rejected the idea with Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane instructing his side not to respect Barcelona's league triumph.

The defender said ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich: "What Zidane says is gospel. We're making too much fuss out of all this.

"Barca have the title, which is what they wanted, but there will be no guard of honour full stop.

"They want to enjoy their title and the same for us and ours, we need to eliminate the Germans and to reach another final."
