Madrid is best to be ignored, according to centre-back
Nacho.
Nacho refused to wade into the row over Barcelona defender
Gerard Pique seemingly mocking Real Madrid on Twitter
following their disqualification from the Copa del Rey.
Real were eliminated from the competition after selecting Denis
Cheryshev in the first leg of their round-of-32 tie against Cadiz
on Wednesday despite him having not yet served a ban for
picking up three yellow card's in last year's Copa when playing
for Villarreal on loan.
Barca defender Pique appeared to take a dig at rivals Real when
posting several laughing emojis as news of Real's error began
to filter through.
Reports suggest that Real captain Sergio Ramos called his
Spain team-mate to seek an explanation from Pique, but Nacho
kept his counsel when questioned on the matter.
"People can write on Twitter whatever they want," Nacho said at
a news conference ahead of Tuesday's Champions League
encounter against Malmo.
"Personally I wouldn't do it myself. When you ignore it, it is
much better."
It is not the first time Pique has earned the ire of the Real
Madrid faithful after he mocked Cristiano Ronaldo when
celebrating Barca's treble success last season.
Pique thanked Colombian singer Kevin Roldan, who was
pictured partying with Ronaldo at a birthday celebration shortly
after Real had lost 4-0 to rivals Atletico Madrid.
