Did Barcelona Take This P*ss Out Of Real Madrid After Their Derby Loss to Atletico?

It's hard not to think this Barcelona picture of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar laughing is a pop at Real Madrid after their 1-0 derby defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Zinedine Zidane's side were beaten by their rivals at home this afternoon for a result which could be a hammer blow to their La Liga title challenge.

Barca were already leading Real by nine points in the league table, but today's result means they go into tomorrow's clash against Sevilla with the ambition of extending that to 12 with a win.

If a defeat to your city rivals wasn't bad enough for some Real fans, being trolled by your biggest enemy should probably do it.

But was that what Barca were up to with this cheeky Instagram post?

It was posted almost immediately after the final whistle was blown in Atletico's victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.

We're pretty confident it was a thinly-veiled dig at the downfall of their rivals Real.

The loss to Atletico certainly will apply more pressure on Florentino Perez and his role at the club.

Fans chanted 'Florentino resign' during the game earlier this afternoon and questions will continue to be asked of his running of the club
