Pique vs Real Madrid

Gerard Pique is perhaps the best generator of news headlines in the Barcelona squad. However, it is the Barcelona defenders antics on social media, rather than his prowess on the pitch which has got the Spaniard into the news, with a feud with Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa and Madrid legend Guti keeping the Spanish press churning.

It all began with this tweet by Pique right after Real Madrid were thrown out of the Copa del Rey for fielding an ineligible player

Former Madrid star Jose Maria Guti then took the chance to rub it in when Barcelona dropped a point, with the Spaniard tweeting ‘congratulations Barca for a point.’

Felicitar al Barca por el punto.

When Barcelona lost to Real Sociedad, Alvaro Arbeloa also taunted Pique/Barcelona, tweeting ‘How hard is it to win against 11?’, referring to Barcelona’s streak of wins against teams playing with ten men.

¡QUÉ DIFÍCIL ES GANAR CONTRA 11!¡Partidazo de @illarra4 y enorme @eGranero11, promesa cumplida! ;) ¡Enhorabuena Pirata!

Pique had the last laugh in the end, as Barcelona won La Liga on the last day of the season, with the Spaniard also taking the time to poke fun at Real Madrid in the bus parade.
