The last game of Gerard Piquéin La Liga in Spain with Barcelona he left an image to remember. However, said image is far from being shining with the Barça shirt, but due to a controversy after being sent off without having played a single minute of the match.
What happened? The center-back jumped onto the field at half-time in the match between Barca and Osasuna to reproach referee Gil Manzano for expelling Robert Lewandowski and the alleged foul on Marcos Alonso in the rival goal.For this reason, Piqué ended up being expelled and in the second half he could not sit on the bench.
In the image you can see how the judge did not want to enter into a dialogue with the Barcelona player, but Piqué chased him calling him to the locker room tunnel.
However, the referee explained the expulsion in the match minutes, where he revealed the serious insults he received from the defender: “Did you see what corner you gave us? You are the referee who has screwed us the most by far. It’s a fucking shame, I shit on your fucking mother!”, he detailed.
Cabe remember that this match was Piqué’s last in La Liga with Barcelona after he announced his retirement last week. On Saturday he said goodbye to the Camp Nou as a starter and this time he only managed to sit on the bench for the first 45 minutes. Coach Xavi had planned to line him up for a few minutes in the second half, but it could not be due to his expulsion.
