Gerard Pique was defiant in his press conference on Thursday after being booed by some Spanish fans.

Pique became a target for some supporters of Spain after he mocked Real Madrid while celebrating Barcelona's treble.

Sergio Ramos said his international colleague had not helped himself with his conduct.

Piqué said: “I don’t regret my comments at all, I’d do it 1,000 times over because I’m like that. I’ll always want things to go badly for Madrid and this is the rivalry which has always existed.

“I am not going to change my ways and I have nothing to apologise for. Quitting the national team is the last thing I would do. That would be giving in to those who whistle me for the wrong reasons.

“I’ve always had the utmost commitment to the Spanish national team. As for the Barça-Madrid rivalry, I won’t change. I feel very good, on both a personal and sporting level. Yesterday I went mushroom picking. I am a happy man.”
