Real Madrid refuse to give Barcelona a guard of honour if they win La Liga before El Clasico

Real Madrid are staring at the possibility of ending another season without any major trophy just like the last campaign.

Having lost the Spanish Super Cup to Barcelona earlier in the year and crashed out of the Copa del Rey as well, Real Madrid were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League last night by Bayern Munich.

As far as La Liga is concerned, the Merengues are already nine points behind leaders Barcelona with only seven matches left to be played.

Given their current situation, there is some sort of acceptance in the locker room that the title may already be lost.

Real Madrid will not give Barcelona a guard of honour

Now, according to El Chiringuito TV’s Marcos Llorente, Real Madrid do not intend to give Barcelona a guard of honour in case they are crowned the champions of La Liga before El Clasico.

Real Madrid take on their bitter rivals at the Spotify Camp Nou on May 10. For Barça to have been confirmed as champions by then, they will have to stretch their lead to 13 points.

In that scenario, Los Blancos do not plan on giving them a guard of honour, with the reason for that stance being the ‘Negreira case’.
