Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has dismissed the angry claims of Barcelona defender Gerard Pique after last night's El Clasico.

Real ranout 2-0 winners, with Vinicius Junior and Mariano Diaz the goalscorers in the second-half.

But at the final whistle, Pique snapped: "In the first-half, I saw one of the worst Real Madrid teams of all time at the Bernabéu."

In response, Ramos insisted he was proud of the way they won on the night.

He declared: "I respect all opinions. But I'd sign to win all the Clasicos this way.

"Barça had control of the game in the first-half but was not dangerous. If we had lost, we would have been relegated five points behind and the situation would have been more complicated for us even if we would have fought to the end."
