The Colombian singer of Lebanese origin, Shakira, congratulated her husband, Gerard Pique, the Barcelona star, on his team’s victory over its traditional rival, Real Madrid.
And Shakira wrote on her official Facebook page: “Pique did not let me say this in public, he always has his own heroism and always gives his best despite any injury or pain .. not because he is my husband, but he is the best in the world.”
Barcelona beat its arch-rivals Real Madrid 4-0, during the match that brought them together, on Sunday, at the Santiago Bernabeu, in the 29th round of the Spanish League.
The Catalan team scored its 4 goals after only 51 minutes of the match, before wasting a torrent of easy opportunities in the remaining 39 minutes.
Spaniard Sergio Busquets, captain of Barcelona, confirmed that the Catalan team could have scored more goals during the match, but the players missed that opportunity.
Busquets said in televised statements after the match: “That was our goal from the beginning, not in terms of the result, but also in providing the game that we wanted, to have possession of the ball and extract it in the opponent’s areas. It was a great night, and we could have scored more goals.”
The victory was the first for the Catalan team since March 2019, after 6 matches, 5 of which ended in the defeat of Barcelona, with a single draw.
It is noteworthy that the victory restored hope to Barcelona in the competition for the Spanish League title, after reducing the difference between it and leaders Real Madrid to 12 points, with one game less for the Catalan team.
