Zidane: Real Madrid will not give Barcelona a guard of honour
The Madrid coach has already decided that there will be no 'pasillo'
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane surprised everyone on Saturday when he said his side had no intention of giving Barcelona a guard of honour if they win La Liga before Los Blancos visit Camp Nou in May.
"My answer to that is very clear," Zidane said when asked if Madrid would do the honourable thing. "A decision has been taken and that's that -- it's my decision. We are not going to given them a guard of honour. Barça broke the [tradition], so it does not exist any more."
Madrid face Atletico on Sunday and the French coach added: "We're just thinking about the three points from tomorrow's game, anyway. We want to close the gap on them. Atletico deserve to be where they are, in second place."
Zidane even suggested he still thinks his side have a chance to win the league, despite being 13 points behind leaders Barcelona.
"Everybody thinks La Liga is over already, but we cannot know that," he said. "We must keep giving everything in all games."
