The Barça dressing room are angry with Sergio Ramos
The defender showed his nice side after the final whistle, an attitude he didn't show speaking to reporters
No gustó que acusara a Messi de presionar al árbitro y a Suárez de teatrero para perder tiempo
While Cristiano Ronaldo looks at the mirror on the wall and asks who is the fairest of them all, Sergio Ramos is the self appointed leader and spokesman of Real Madrid.
In health, such as when he celebrated with supporters after qualifying for the Champions League final, and in sickness, such as in the tension before, during and after the Clasico. Sergio Ramos is like a rougher version of Gerard Pique.
During the 90 minutes at Camp Nou, he lived dangerously on the border that seperates intensity from violence. Some of his actions were from the Mourinho era, when Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso would share out heavy duty tackles generously.
He also refused to kick the ball out when Luis Suarez was injured and wanted medical assitance on the pitch. Ramos saw the Clasico like a battle.
Barça players accept that. They accept the idea of "what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch".
But they don't understand why, a few seconds after Ramos had hugged various Barça players, taken Iniesta's shirt and said "the rivalry should stay on the pitch". only to then accuse Messi of trying to influence the referee.
On one hand, the Madrid captain said the rivalry should last 90 minutes but on the other hand he accused Suarez of play acting and Leo Messi of pressuring referee Hernandez Hernandez.
His attitude surprised no-one, but a part of the Barça dressing room cannot helo but feel angry by his friendly gestures after the game were not reciprocated when he was speaking to reporters in the mixed zone.
