DBasia.news – The minor results achieved by Barcelona when they traveled to Granada’s headquarters did not seem to bother Gerard Pique. At this moment, he still had time to pay attention to Real Madrid.
Barcelona failed to continue their winning trend in LaLiga 2021-2022 after being held to a 1-1 draw by Granada. This result has made the Blaugrana increasingly scattered from the title race.
Ironically this result was achieved tragically. Barcelona’s victory that was already in sight was dispersed after Granada scored a return goal just one minute before normal time was over.
Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez was disappointed with this draw. He criticized the performance of his team who appeared sloppy which caused them to concede in the last minute.
Pique became one of Barcelona’s defenders who appeared fully in the match. He is also responsible for this result.
However, Pique does not seem bothered by the failure. A few hours after the match ended, he actually commented on the controversial moment that occurred when Real Madrid hosted Valencia.
In that match, Madrid won with a score of 4-1. However, Valencia criticized the referee’s leadership for awarding a penalty which was eventually converted into the opening goal by Karim Benzema.
The referee pointed to the spot after Mouctar Diakhaby fouled Casemiro. From the replays, it can be seen that the incident appeared to diving.
Valencia’s anger was expressed through social media. Los Ches without a doubt said they had been robbed at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Pique responded to this statement. He gave support to Valencia with a satire.
“Don’t say it too loudly or you will be punished,” Pique tweeted.
What Pique did did not violate the rules. But the momentum was not right because Barcelona had just achieved bad results.
Moreover, Pique is one of the senior players in defense. Of course it is better if he analyzes his team’s shortcomings so as to achieve better results in the next match.
