El Clasico is renowned for consistently being one of football\u2019s feistiest matchups, with Real Madrid and Barcelona often tearing into each other both on and off the pitch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n While some prefer to let their football do the talking, others simply mouth off about their opponents, leading to some quite spectacular quotes. The latest of these came from Jordi Alba, who claimed that Raphael Varane said: \u201cRat boy, you don\u2019t even have a driver\u2019s license\u201d to him during a match.<\/p>\n This got us thinking: what are the best insults El Clasico has produced over the years? Here are another six classics\u2026<\/p>\n When you\u2019re in your first season as a Real Madrid player, it\u2019s a bold move to take aim at one of Barcelona\u2019s biggest players. To take on two on the same day is almost unheard of.<\/p>\n Reguilon was playing just his second Clasico \u2013 and only his 18th Real Madrid game in total \u2013 when he hit Luis Suarez with the underused insult of \u201crabbit\u201d, but that wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n Why stop at Suarez when Lionel Messi is available too? The right-back started on the biggest dog there is, and wasn\u2019t in any mood to back down.<\/p>\n Messi has generally given as good as he\u2019s got in these games, be it on the pitch or in the slanging matches with his rivals.<\/p>\n Pantomime villain Sergio Ramos was on the receiving end of some foul language in 2017, after winding up Messi by looping the ball over the Argentine\u2019s head.<\/p>\n \u201cLa concha de tu madre\u201d was the main takeaway phrase. We won\u2019t repeat the translation here, and if you speak Spanish you\u2019ll know why.<\/p>\n Mourinho and Guardiola will likely butt heads for as long as they\u2019re both in the game, but one of Mourinho\u2019s most memorable tirades came in the aftermath of a Clasico.<\/p>\n \u201cGuardiola is a fantastic coach, but I have won two Champions Leagues,\u201d Mourinho said after his Real Madrid side lost to Guardiola\u2019s Barcelona in the 2010-11 edition of the competition.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has won [only] one\u00a0Champions League\u00a0and that is one that would embarrass me. I would be ashamed to have won it with the scandal of Stamford Bridge and if he wins it this year it will be with the scandal of the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope one day Guardiola has the chance of winning a proper Champions League, a brilliant, clean championship with no scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n READ:\u00a0What they said: The 14 players to work for Mourinho and Guardiola<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s always the ones you least suspect. Arbeloa always seemed like the quiet type during his time in England, but that hasn\u2019t always been true of the right-back.<\/p>\n Arbeloa\u2019s beef with Pique goes back to 2013, when the latter\u2019s response to a contentious Real Madrid penalty was to liken Los Blancos\u2019 game against Elche to a comedy movie. Arbeloa responded in kind, but it didn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n \u201cA player who has started once in 32 games doesn\u2019t deserve a response. I\u2019ll tell my friends to tell me when I\u2019m not a protagonist, either on the pitch or off it,\u201d Pique would later tweet in response to some more chat from his Spanish international team-mate. Cutting.<\/p>\n Yup, it\u2019s Mourinho again, doing what he does best \u2013 acknowledging his own successes and selectively ignoring those occasions where he didn\u2019t get things right.<\/p>\n \u201cMessi scored 50 goals that have not been worth anything,\u201d Mourinho said in 2012 after his Real Madrid side beat Barca to the title, using the comment as his justification for why Messi did not deserve to win the Ballon d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n We wonder if Messi was spurred on by that as he helped his club to the title in 2012-13, scoring \u2018only\u2019 46 times, and leaving Mourinho out of a job at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n Eto\u2019o never really made it at Real Madrid, joining the club as a teenager but only making seven senior appearances for the club.<\/p>\n So, when he won La Liga with rivals Barcelona in 2005, it meant that bit more to him. So much so that he hurled himself into the celebrations and chanted \u201cMadrid, bastards, hail the champions.:<\/p>\n He apologised soon after, saying \u201cI never wanted to show any lack of respect to anyone.\u201d That\u2019s a strange way to go about it, mind you.<\/p>\n READ NEXT:\u00a010 of the best manager put-downs: Mourinho, Conte, Pulis, Pardew\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n TRY A QUIZ:\u00a0Can you name the top scorer for every La Liga season since 1990?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\nSergio Reguilon vs Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
