FC Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto has responded to claims there is a rift in the dressing room ahead of Sunday's El Clasico.
The Catalan giants were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League this week after a 4-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
Ronald Aurajo's red card in the first half drew criticism from teammate Ilkay Gundogan after the game on Tuesday night.

Araujo then stated that he did not want to respond to Gundogan's comments to respect his codes and values.
Barcelona go into Sunday's clash against Real Madrid knowing a loss will almost certainly end their hopes retaining the title, as they sit eight points behind their arch rivals.
Roberto has stated that there has been no need to clear the air as the rift talk is just rumours.
“No meeting has been necessary because we are already together in the dressing room every day," Roberto told Movistar+, as per Diario AS.
"It has been talked about, of course, mostly because of what has been generated outside, but to clarify that there is no problem with anyone. We are family.”
“I have read that the team is divided…far from it. Don’t look for problems where there aren’t any, the team is very united."
