“Pique Understood Everything”- Despite Slamming Shakira’s ‘Latin American’ Fans, Gerard Pique’s Major Project Receives Unexpected Support From Colombian Soccer Star

Gerard Pique’s public image has seen an interesting phase of development in the past 10 months. Since his June 2022 split with Colombian singer Shakira, Pique has been subject to public skepticism, criticism, and disparagement. This was especially evident when the news of Pique’s infidelity with his former partner broke out.

Since then, the couple has seen multiple controversies and problems. To add fuel to the fire, Pique irked Shakira’s ‘Latin American fans’ when he publicly slammed them. However, despite this collective sentiment aimed towards Pique, a recent statement from Colombian soccer star, Vanessa Córdoba has hinted at a different perspective.

Gerard Pique receives an unexpected support

Vanessa Córdoba is a Colombian goalkeeper for the professional women’s soccer team Atlético Nacional. She is also a huge spokesperson for women’s soccer in Colombia. Her words of appreciation came after the news that Pique had plans to follow up on his highly successful Kings League with a women’s counterpart–the Queens League.

The Queens League is slated to start on May 7th and will serve as an exciting female counterpart to the existing Kings League. Vanessa Córdoba is really pleased with this initiative by Pique, in order to give the female soccer players their due share of excitement. She stated, “Personal life aside. Piqué understood everything in terms of work, from equality in the football industry to football as entertainment. This is evolution”.

The approval and admiration that Pique received from Córdoba is nothing short of unexpected, given his previously contentious relationship with Latin American fans of Shakira.

Gerard Pique slammed fans of Shakira

An event of significant consequence in the news was Gerard Pique’s harsh words about Shakira’s Latin American fan base. During a conversation with Gerard Romero, Pique described the rude messages he had received from fans on social media, saying “My ex-partner is Latin American. You don’t know what I’ve received from her fans on social media. Thousands of barbarities”.

These comments sparked an emotional response from both critics and supporters alike; accusations of xenophobia and disagreement swiftly followed in its wake. To this comment, his ex-partner Shakira provided an empowering reply via Twitter stating “Proud to be Latin American,” alongside several flags representing Latin American countries. Pique has been receiving a significant amount of backlash from fans of Shakira and the Latin American space in general. Therefore, Vanessa’s support was anything but expected.
