After Breaking Records With Shakira, Millionaire Singer Joins Gerard Pique’s Soccer Revolution That Might Upset Shakira Fans

Since retiring from soccer, Gerard Pique’s prime focus has been the Kings League. The second season of the unique soccer venture is coming to an end. And Pique recently unveiled one artist that will perform before the final. The FC Barcelona legend picked an artist who has collaborated with his ex-girlfriend Shakira. During the reveal, even the artist was surprisingly quite accepting of the idea.

In all likelihood, this collaboration could upset Shakira fans. Because the artist created a hard-hitting track with the Hips Don’t Lie singer before joining Pique’s Kings League. The song also broke several records along the way.

Gerard Pique’s Kings League has been a superhit idea. The unique rules of the soccer league have always intrigued the masses. The FC Barcelona legend organized the ‘final four’ of the first Kings League season at Camp Nou. Surprisingly, they managed to sell out the entire stadium that day. More than 90,000 fans turned up at Camp Nou. Well, the second season has also come to an end.

On July 29, the season finale will take place at the Civitas Metropolitan in Madrid. Just hours ago, Pique dropped a major bomb on his ex-girlfriend’s fanbase. He revealed one of the headlining performances before the final. And it was none other than Manuel Turizo, the artist who sang Copa Vacia with the Waka–Waka singer. Turizo’s unveil happened on a live stream.

The Colombian singer had a big smile on his face. He said, “Do not put me in the middle of what team I am or anything, I think it’s cool how the neighborhood have emerged”. Pique then jokingly asked him if he would play on a team. To which, Turizo replied, “Yes, you tell me and I’ll assemble my team and we’ll put another team here”, as compiled by America TV and translated by DeepL.
