Barcelona Appear to Troll Real Madrid with Perfectly-Timed Instagram Post

Read into the above Instagram post by La Liga leaders Barcelona as much as you please.

There is, of course, nothing unusual about one of Europe's best clubs posting a photo of its dynamic front three enjoying themselves during training.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar have become the face of Barcelona's continued dominance of Spanish football, and the club needs no excuse to share footage of the "MSN" trident enjoying themselves in practice.

But given that the post in question came mere moments after their counterparts, Real Madrid, fell 1-0 to Atletico Madrid at home on Sunday afternoon, a few have suggested that the defending Spanish, European and world champions might have been rubbing some salt into the wounds of their biggest rivals.

While a draw at the Bernabeu might have been the optimal result for Barcelona manager Luis Enrique's side, fans took a great deal of joy from a defeat for Zinedine Zidane's side, which even the Los Blancos boss conceded has extinguished his team's title hopes, per Spanish publication Marca (h/t Football Espana).

And it looks as though the club might have gotten in on the fun, too, ahead of their next game against Sevilla at Camp Nou on Sunday evening.

Barcelona's lead over Atletico and Real Madrid currently stands at five and nine points, respectively, a gap that Enrique's men can extend even further before weekend's end.
