Gerard Pique provides a sarcastic response to Zinedine Zidane's claims that Real Madrid will not give Barcelona a guard of honour in next month's clash.

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has joked that he 'will not sleep' following Zinedine Zidane's comments that Real Madrid do not intend to give their rivals a guard of honour.

The Catalan giants will likely wrap up the La Liga title prior to welcoming the reigning champions to Camp Nou on May 5, having yet to taste defeat in their opening 31 matches.

Zidane has said that Madrid will not recognise Barca's achievement, though, as is customary in Spain, but Pique does not appear to be too concerned about the planned snub.

Asked about Zidane's comments, the smiling Spanish centre-back told Movistar Partidazo: "I'm not going to sleep tonight!"

Barca beat Leganes 3-1 on Saturday night to move 12 points clear at the top of the table.
