Barcelona defender Gerard Pique stands by winding up Real Madrid home fans at halftime of last night's win.
Pique made a mouthing gesture with his hand at half-time as his side triumphed 1-0.
His actions followed Sergio Ramos' clash with Lionel Messi which drew blood from the superstar's mouth.
And Pique explained: "Leo had blood on his lip. It was aggressive [from Ramos] and it seemed like a red card to me.
"With the gesture, I was referring to the fact they talk [about referees and VAR] but sometimes things go in their favour.
"Pulses are racing at 1,000 miles an hour and it was just a general gesture. I don't regret it, it was how I felt at that moment. I like it when the atmosphere heats up and [the gesture] was to get it going a little bit more.
"I made the talking gesture because they complain many times and then the referees whistle in their favour."
Barcelona moved 10 points clear at the top of LaLiga thanks to Ivan Rakitic's goal.
