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."

And here they come...

Despite playing at home, Barcelona will be wearing their change strip of yellow tonight

[5 April 2016 20:03 · James Orr]

15 min: The crowd have been applauding the late Johan Cruyff in the 14th minute. Nice to see this becoming a regular fixture at the Nou Camp.

[5 April 2016 20:06 · James Orr]

18 min: Slightly redeeming himself for that earlier clanger. Messi wins back the ball halfway inside his own half and gets Barca on the move. 

[5 April 2016 20:07 · James Orr]

19 min: CHANCE! Best chance of the game. Alves gets in a cross from the right, Neymar gets a powerful header on it just outside the six yard box but it goes over. The Brazilian should have done far better there.

GOAL! Fernando Torres scores for Atletico (25 min)!What a crucial goal that could be. Torres (yes him) runs onto a fine through-ball right down the middle of the pitch and fires his shot through Ter Stegen's legs. Barca wide open. That's Torres's 11th goal against Barca.

46 min: And the second half begins at the Nou Camp.

[5 April 2016 20:54 · James Orr]

48 min: After Atletico get clear again. Barcelona counter-attack. The cross finds Messi...he controls the ball with his chest before trying an acrobatic overhead kick, but his effort goes wide. What a goal that would have been.

[5 April 2016 20:57 · James Orr]

50 min: CHANCE! Neymar hits the crossbar. The Brazilian jinks his way into the box and then curls his shot at goal. Atletico goalkeepr Oblak is left rooted.
