After inviting followers to ask him questions with the hashtag #askPique, one fan enquired about his preferences for the Champions League draw which takes place on Thursday. Pique, who’s been known to throw a taunt or two at Real Madrid through social media, didn’t hesitate in responding with a thinly-veiled gibe at Barcelona’s major rival.
“Easy Group. Second Round v 3rd best Italian team, Quarters against 8th best German team, Semis against 4th best English team. Second-leg always at home,” mocked Pique in his tweet.
Grupo fácil. Octavos el 3º de Italia, Cuartos el 8º de Alemania, Semis el 4º de Inglaterra. Vuelta siempre en casa. https://t.co/6EW7hWmeGd
