Gerard Pique has revealed how he mocks his Real Madrid rivals through WhatsApp.

Pique claims to have started a group message between all of the players who represent Spain but also play for either Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The defender explained how he continues to poke fun at the La Liga champions because of their poor domestic season where they have failed to defend their crown.

The Catalan club currently sit 11 points clear at the top of the table and 15 points above third-placed Real.

And Pique claims his team-mates have a good laugh at their rivals’ expense by sending them taunting messages in the group chat.

“Everybody knows that footballers have text groups on WhatsApp,” he told Spanish newspaper Marca.

“I have one just for my friends from home and I have another just for my Barca teammates, but my favourite one might surprise you.

“Earlier this season, when we were already eight or nine points clear of Real Madrid in the league, I started a special group for some of the guys on the Spanish national team who play for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

“If you only read what the media says, you would think that we hate one another.

“But, in fact, we all get along really well, and we text back and forth about tactics and football philosophies and even the books we’re reading.

“...no, come on, of course I’m joking!

“All we do in that group is talk s**t to one another about Barca and Real! “It’s the best.

“We’re just like little kids and the truth is it’s especially hilarious for me right now because now we’re up 15 points on Real in the league.

“So I’m getting very creative in my responses.”

However, Pique has not had it all his own way as he claims he was the subject of some banter last season when Real won the league title.

“Last season, when the Real guys were winning everything, they were feeling pretty good,” Pique added.

“They were talking s**t constantly whenever I saw them at national team training.

“Every time they won a match last season they were posting shirtless photos on Instagram from the locker room.

“They were smiling and flexing their muscles like the Rock and saying ‘Hala Madrid’ and posting little trophy emojis.

“This season, though, it’s a different vibe.

“All their Instagram photos are looking very sombre.

“So I’m texting them in the WhatsApp group, saying ‘come on guys, why so serious?’

“Then I put a little crying emoji, and a laughing emoji.”
