While Shakira recently relocated to America, the talks about her controversy with Gerard Pique are still on. The soccer veteran is currently receiving a whole new dose of criticism after a recent interview. Throughout the controversy, Pique and his new partner, Clara Chia Marti tried their best to maintain a lowkey profile.

However, the FC Barcelona legend finally vented his inner thoughts during an interview with a fellow Kings League President.

But the reactions to his comments are as brutal as ever. A Spanish journalist recently had some strong words to say about Pique’s comments on his ex-girlfriend and her fans.

Gerard Pique receives a further battering

Popular Spanish journalist and television presenter, Maria Patino, was recently very critical of Pique’s comments on Shakira. During the soccer legend’s interview with Gerard Romero, he called the singer by her nationality and not her name. This ended up triggering the Spanish journalist. Patino said, “Your partner is called Shakira, not Latin American star”, as transcribed by Mundo Deportivo and translated by Google Translate.

The soccer veteran accused the Colombian star of thinking about the repercussions of her diss tracks. He was basically referring to the constant public uproar and the fact that Clara Chia Marti had to spend a few days in the hospital due to anxiety attacks. Troubled by the accusations again, Patino replied, “I am very Clara Chía, but what I should have done is to have protected his girl from the beginning”.

In the end, Patino basically concluded the segment by saying that Pique was responsible for his own downfall. She assertively said, “I am burst by people who are not capable of self-criticism. Everyone can fall in love with whoever they want. So long live Shakira and Clara Chía, but the person responsible is Gerard Piqué”.

A few days ago, the FC Barcelona veteran had a casual chat with Gerard Romero on his YouTube channel. During the conversation, he criticized every fan for having an unwanted opinion on his personal life. He said, “Now we are dedicated to throwing the ‘beef’, but it is also a personal issue, the issue of ‘throwing beef’ that is very good and is fashion”, as transcribed by Actitud Fem and translated by Google Translate.

He accused Shakira’s fanbase too of not thinking about the repercussions of their derogatory comments on social media. In reality, the Grammy Award winner’s diss tracks have severely affected Pique’s family. At one point, the soccer legend was planning on filing a lawsuit against his former partner, as he figured that would be the only way to stop her.
