Barcelona humiliated Real Madrid in the just concluded El Classico. It was a huge result for Barcelona. Going to the Spanish capital and winning in that fashion was a huge step for a team that’s still very much in transition post-Lionel Messi.
Barcelona Center-back, Gerard Pique was majestic throughout the game and earned public praise from his wife Shakira post-match.
“Gerard won’t let me say these things publicly,” Shakira said. “But only he, with his heroism, can play like this, overcoming injury and pain and always giving his best. It’s not just because he’s my husband, but he’s the best centre-back in the world. I said it!”
Shakira, 45, is from Barranquilla in Colombia and has been in a relationship with Pique since 2011. A singer, she’s sold over 80 million records throughout her career and is considered one of the best-selling musical artists of all time.
