Real Madrid Captain defended his club

Ramos and Pique's most heated exchanges

Ramos: Pique and I like to throw stones at each other but now we'll embrace

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has advised Gerard Pique against public criticism of the club in future, suggesting it causes tension amongst the Spanish national team as a whole when they meet for international fixtures.

The Barcelona defender hit the headlines recently for slamming the values of Los Blancos, which even led to the club seriously considering taking legal action against him.

"When Pique attacks Real Madrid, our club, our crest, our colours it does have an impact," he told Universo Valdano in an interview that will air on Friday.

"These are things that can be avoided and which should not be done but sometimes when everything is calm and quiet, Pique needs to cause a stir and have that extra hustle and bustle in his life."

The former Sevilla man insisted that he himself has learned to think differently given his position of responsibility but does not think that there is any real malice towards anyone in his international colleague's comments.

"I'm a very temperamental guy but when you wear the armband of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, you have to think differently," he added.

"I don't think that Pique really has any bad opinion about any of my Madrid teammates though."
