Real Madrid vs Barcelona is probably the greatest club rivalry of the modern times. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo always had the maximum share of the spotlight but let's not forget these two titans who gave it they are all on the pitch.

Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique stand as worthy representatives for their respective clubs. The defensive duo, known for being fiercely committed and loyal to their clubs, have locked horns for more than most of the times during El Clasico.

In spite of having indulged in quarrels, it is astounding to see how Ramos and Pique get on extremely well with each other when they don their national colours. The duo has played instrumental parts in Spain's World Cup and Euro-winning campaigns and stand as role models when it comes to putting your personal rivalries aside during national duties.
