Gerard Pique was one of the best defenders of all time. The player has enjoyed a stellar career both at the international and domestic levels, winning many accolades and making quite a name for himself.
However, the player hung up his boots last year, thus ending his beautiful career in soccer. Since then and during his retirement, a lot has been going on in his life. The defender has a good hand in business and is the owner of two Spanish clubs. Besides this, he recently started a new competition called the Kings League.
During the league matches, the player used to have a tete-a-tete with his compatriots on his Twitch live stream. Hence, in all the episodes of the live stream, the player has revealed many things about his personal life. But aside from that, he also expressed his feelings about his former club.

Gerard Pique opens up on Barcelona’s shock loss
In February, while speaking on his Twitch stream, the player made his feelings clear about his former club, Manchester United. The Red Devils thrashed his childhood club Barcelona in the Europa League.
When he was asked about the shocking loss, the player reacted very furiously and described it as a “f****** mess.” Xavi Hernandez’s side lost 4-3 on aggregate. In the first leg, Barcelona did secure a decent comeback, thus ending the game 2-2.

However, things escalated in the second leg, as they lost 2-1 against Ten Haag’s side. The Premier League side was a goal down; however, goals from Fred and Antony inspired a brilliant comeback.
Indeed, it was a poor exit for Europe, as they have failed to win either of the European Cups since 2015. Moreover, it was tough for Pique to watch his beloved cup endure such defeat at the hands of his other former club.
The breakup drama continues!
Aside from making a name for himself in soccer, the former player is getting quite a few headlines. Ever since he split up with Shakira, the latter has become the talk of the town. The star couple broke up last year after he reportedly cheated on Columbia, thus ending their 12-year relationship.
Since their breakup, a lot has happened, as Shakira released a diss track on Pique. The song became an instant hit. Moreover, it even led to Piqu getting humiliated in front of many people.
