Gerard Pique, accompanied his friend Ibai Llanos, to make an appearance at the boxing event held in the Metropolitano stadium. This stadium is famously known as the home ground of Atletico Madrid, a rival soccer club to Pique’s former team, FC Barcelona. Despite coming to enjoy the event and show support for his friend, Pique was met with hostility from the fans in attendance.
As he appeared on camera for an interview, the atmosphere quickly changed from excitement to disdain. The sound of boos and whistles drowned out his voice. This left no doubt that the fans were not pleased to see him. Maybe it was because of his personal drama with Shakira or his status as a legendary rival player. However, one thing became abundantly clear – Pique found himself overwhelmed by an overwhelming chorus of disapproval from the fans.
