As per Sport Bible, on the live stream, Laporta said, “Pique is part of the Barça shield. When he asked me if he could hold the Kings League finals at the Camp Nou I didn’t hesitate to say yes. Pique has invented a way of enjoying football with a lot of fun, especially for the youngsters. I think Pique’s Kings League is a way of modernising football. It gives it sustainability”.
However, the fans are wondering how Pique will manage to survive the entire game without getting booed at the Nou Camp considering the recent happenings in his personal life.

Since then, the fans have taken every chance they get to make life miserable for the Spanish soccer legend. The fans shockingly booed the Barcelona star at a recent award show that he attended online. Pique tried to ignore the fans, but it was definitely humiliating for a person of his stature.
