Pique managed to score in his debut El Clasico

Real Madrid were looking to end their disappointing campaign with a high note, meanwhile the Catalans were looking to claim their championship crown with a resounding victory over their arch rivals.

In the 74th minute, Xavi managed to set up Messi for his second of the game and increased their lead to three goals. In the 82nd minute, Pique completed the humiliation by tapping the ball from close range.

This was one of the most resounding victories for FC Barcelona against their arch rivals Real Madrid. Barcelona completed their first ever treble in that season.

Here is a very cute video from Gerard Pique, who filmed his son Milan scoring what can only be described as a long-range goal in the back garden.


The Barcelona defender set his son the challenge of scoring from 15 yards out, and Milan passed the test with flying colours. He sent the ball rolling along the ground neatly.

And after scoring the goal, little Milan raised a mini-Champions League trophy triumphantly.

Shakira posted a video of husband & Barcelona star Gerard Pique shooting a ball at her. Gerard Pique was surely up to no good today.

The Spanish centre back was chilling at home with his missus Shakira and filmed himself messing with her, well not like that!

The 28-year-old kicked a ball at Shakira’s throat and she was not particularly impressed.

Barcelona will face Sevilla in the European Super Cup final on Tuesday night in Georgia.

Shakira posted the following video captioned “This is what it’s like living with a footballer!”

Spanish defender Gerard Pique was recently booed by Spain’s Real Madrid-supporting fans. The reason was his joke during Barcelona’s Treble celebrations in which he poked fun at Cristiano Ronaldo's birthday party, which changed the course of Madrid’s season.

Gerard Pique

Pique has been whistled and booed at all week on Spain duty. Real Madrid fans gave him an earful of abuse during training as well as when he came on against Costa Rica last night.

Pique is completely unconcerned by the reactions he is getting. He actually gave a pretty epic response in the mixed zone.

The Barcelona defender said,"It doesn’t affect me. I’ve just won the Treble!".

This has lead several clubs believe that the Barcelona defender could return to EPL

United and Chelsea were said to be favourites to sign Pique but the ex Manchester United is now linked with Manchester City and the other EPL are clubs are said to face a tough competition for the player.

Although many EPL clubs are interested in signing the 27-years-old, but the player could choose to stay at Camp Nou. He stated that he is not thinking about leaving. He has been a Barcelona fan since he was a kid and wants to stay there.

It is understood that £24m should be enough to tempt the Catalonia club.
