As things started to cool down, Gerard Pique has now been embroiled in controversy yet again. This time, the Spaniard was trolled mercilessly by Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas for his comments on the ongoing El Caso Negreira investigation.
For those who are not familiar with the case, El Caso Negreira is an ongoing investigation by Spanish authorities. It dives into allegations that Barcelona has been paying money to Enriquez Negreira, the Vice-President of the Technical Committee of Referees from the 2016-2018 period.

“No no, one team (Barcelona) got to go 2 years without receiving a penalty against it, it’s incredible,” Casillas explained.

Pique has been struggling to catch a break lately, and it seems like the controversies surrounding him are never-ending.
