Gerard Piqué has slammed the Camp Nou's boo-boys after seeing Barcelona team-mate André Gomes jeered when he came on as a substitute against Valencia.

"The people who whistle players before they've kicked a ball should stay at home," said Piqué after the LaLiga week 28 clash on Sunday evening.

Piqué: "It doesn't help anyone"

"It doesn't help anyone. It's intolerable,the 30-year-old defender continued. 

"It's one thing a player having a bad game and the fans complaining, but it's quite another doing so before he's kicked a ball.

"That pushes his confidence through the floor."

Gomes, who was introduced in the 74th minute, rounded off the scoring against his former club as Barça won 4-2 to stay in touch with league leaders Real Madrid.
