Gerard Pique says Barcelona do not need to use Saturday's defeat to Real Madrid as a wake-up call ahead of their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid - a match he expects to be even tougher than the Clasico.

Barca saw their record-breaking unbeaten run come to an end after going down 2-1 to 10-man Real at the Nou Camp, with Cristiano Ronaldo netting an 85th-minute winner.

It was a chastening defeat against their biggest rivals but, with a six-point lead in the Primera Division, a Copa del Rey final to look forward to and a crunch Champions League quarter-final against Atletico to play, defender Pique insists there is no need to blow the result out of proportion.

The Spain international, who headed Barca into a 56th-minute lead against Real, told a press conference on Monday: "We don't need a wake-up call because we already know how difficult and complicated it is to win every game.

"Emotionally it's a defeat like any other. We went 39 games without losing and at times it happens. Onwards.

"We're ready to play another game on Tuesday and to do very well. Tomorrow is a unique opportunity to have a great game and leave the bar very high."

Picks itself these days does the Barca XI. MSN leading the way up top as usual. Surely they cannot go two games without scoring...

And here is the Atletico Madrid XI, with a certain former Chelsea man starting up front...

Atletico: Oblak, Juanfran, Lucas, Godín, Filipe Luís, Gabi, Saúl, Koke, Carrasco, Griezmann, Torres

15 minutes until kick-off and the omens do not look good for Atletico. Barcelona have beaten them in both La Liga clashes this season - 2-1 both home and away.
