Atlético de Madrid boss Diego Simeone said he laughed at comments made by Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo after Real's 3-4 defeat to Barcelona about the idea that people don't like 'Los Blancos' being in contention for La Liga.

Simeone told journalists about this at a press conference at the Vicente Calderón ahead of his side's training in preparation for the Granada game.

"They made me laugh a lot. I've got nothing to say. But they really made me laugh", the coach said in response to a question on the comments made by the Real pair after 'El Clásico'.

Ramos said: "It would be good if Undiano didn't referee our games. When Real Madrid are ahead it seems many people don't like it. When you're the best team in the world people start to envy you and we feel the effects of this. We have to fight against all this and concentrate on playing our game, but you can't fight against some things".

Meanwhile after the match, Cristiano Ronaldo said: "Maybe there were a lot of people who didn't want us to win because if we had won, Barcelona would have been out of the (fight for) La Liga. I understand that Barcelona have to survive in this fight. I've been here for five years and I know how things work. I understand, from playing at this club, that the treatment is not the same".
