Scandal for Piqué farewell: “I shat on your *** mother!”

Gerard Piqué celebrated his departure from FC Barcelona ingloriously. The Catalans’ defender was the center of attention on Tuesday night for insulting the referee that earned him a red card.

Normally, Gerard Piqué would have been suspended for several games. There is talk of six games that the defender should have served as a penalty. But because he is saying goodbye to his active career, the length of his ban, which he received on Tuesday evening, is completely irrelevant.

Barcelona initially fell behind in the game at Osasuna. Nervousness spread, after all there was the possibility to sit at the top of La Liga. Piqué was very dissatisfied with the performance of referee Gil Manzano after the half-time whistle.

Piqué with harsh insults to referees

The referee stated (via Mundo Deportivo): “When the first half was over and he was already in the tunnel, he approached me with the following words: “Did you see the corner you gave against us? You’re the referee who screwed us the most by far!”

The wild discussion in the players’ tunnel, which had already been preceded by one or two sentences on the way there, was followed by the dismissal of the substitute player.

The referee also spoke of Piqué’s further escalation, while a Catalan club official was informed of the red card. The 35-year-old added further insults, such as: “That’s a damn shame! I shit on your *** mother!”

Due to the severity of the insults, the long-term ban would have been the result. Piqué now eludes this because he will no longer play for Barcelona.

A rather sad and low-level end to his playing career, which ultimately wasn’t even necessary: ​​after all, Barca still turned the game into a 2-1 win.
