“I Could Eat My Mouth With Zlatan” – Gerard Pique Sheds Light on 13-Year-Old Controversial Picture Amid Public Feud With Ex Shakira

The Gerard Pique- Shakira breakup saga at this point has become a never-ending controversy. The couple broke up in June 2022 and the back-and-forth between the two is still evident. Their public feud was recently reignited as Shakira released a new diss track with Karol G titled ‘TQG’ taking shots at the ex-Barcelona star and his new girlfriend Clara Chia Marti.

Amid this controversial feud, Pique cleared another controversial picture that happened 13 years ago. The picture in question is from 2010 between Pique and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who were both part of the Barcelona squad at the time.

In the picture, both soccer stars can be seen very close face to face, like they were about to kiss. This picture became a reason for many rumors surrounding their sexuality.

Recently, Pique shed light on this picture on a Twitch stream with Ibai Llanos, one of the owners of the team in Pique’s Kings League. When asked about the picture, Pique clarified that the picture was “taken out of context”.

He said, “In that photo, we are in the parking lot of the club. There is my car and there is the press. That I could eat my mouth with Zlatan, but not in the parking lot of the club”. “The photo is totally taken out of context. Best of all, it was Zlatan’s reaction,” Pique shared with a laugh.

It is clear that this whole situation has been blown out of proportion. However, this is not the first time that Pique has spoken about this picture.

Pique stated, “I’m a very tactile person, very affectionate. The photographer took the photo at the moment when we were shaking hands. I was inside the training ground, so I don’t think it was someone from the entertainment world.” The picture was taken out of context and it was simply a moment between two friends.
