Former Barcelona striker Sergio Agüero winds up Gerard Piqué

Gerard Piqué is going to have to get used to this. 

Former Barcelona teammate - albeit briefly - Sergio Agüero, who is involved in Piqué's Kings League, playfully responded "claramente" ('clearly') - one of the most used words in Shakira's new song - to a point made by Piqué in reference to a new feature in the 7-a-side soccer competition. 

Agüero's "Claramente tienes razón" ("Clearly you're right") prompted great laughter on the latest Kings League Twitch stream, during which Piqué revealed sponsorship deals with Casio and Renault, brands that Shakira used in the lyrics of the song to poke fun at the former soccer player and new girlfriend Clara Chía. 

​​​​​​​This one is going to run for a good while...

In Mexican soccer, two major figures associated with Liga MX giants Cruz Azul have traded opposing opinions on Shakira's new song.

Who is Briella? Did Shakira plagiarize her song?

Shakira's BZRP Music Sessions accused of plagiarism

Shakira's BZRP Music Sessions #53 track is already the hottest debut in Youtube history with 50 million views in 24 hours but parts of the melody bear a striking resemblance to Venezuelan singer Briella's song Sólo tú(Only you) which was released in June last year.

Piqué irritated by Shakira song but won't be taking legal action

Renault responds to Shakira slight

The car company may not have been the Colombian singer's intended target, but the mention of the Twingo has got a reaction from them.

"I’m worth two 22-year-olds. You traded in a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded in a Rolex for a Casio," she sang, referencing how much better she, now 45 years old, is than any newer, younger model. Clara Chia is just 23 years old...22 at the time they split, we can assume. Piqué is 35.

Renault's tongue-in-cheek reply:

'Twingo's going to love you forever, Shakira. We promise.'

Can't stop talking about it

A side issue in the Shakira-slams-Piqué saga is an insinuation that the sizzling-hot song plagiarized parts of another sung by Briella. Some were quick to dismiss the allegation, while others agree with the singer. This tweet below says that similarities between songs have existed for most of the history of music.

Gerard Piqué's cryptic Twitter message...

We told you a little earlier about how Gerard Piqué had turned up on social media for the first time since Shakira had released her video. 

Well, he's back again. 

"YOU ARE GOING to find out" reads his latest tweet (my caps lock was not on by mistake there). Again, the clown makes an appearance, both in emoji form and in a video. 

Given that he's tagged in the KingsLeague Twitter account and the clown is about to take off his or her mask before the video cuts away, Piqué could simply be referring to the fact that another masked player is set to appear in the 7-a-side soccer tournament and his or her identity will be revealed. 

Or it could be something else entirely...

Venezuelan singer-songwriter Briella sees similarities between her song and Shakira's

Any interesting story coming from Venezuela, as singer-songwriter Briella believes that Shakira's song on BZRP Music Sessions #53 was 'inspired' by her own tune called Solo tú. She's not trying to stir up trouble though. 

“Truth be told, I think Shakira was inspired by my song Solo tú for her Bizarrap session,” she said on Instagram. “My song was released six months ago and went viral here on TikTok.

“I am not making this video with the intention of looking for problems. I am a lifelong fan of Shakira. I am a fan of Biza’s work. I am really in shock; I don’t know what to do.”

Is Antonela on team Shakira? Take a look at the comments on this one.

Gerard Piqué has spoken!

The man himself has resurfaced! Not that there's any suggestion that he was in hiding...

"Tomorrow (Friday) at 9pm, 'Chup Chup' Kings League with all the presidents. Life can be wonderful".

I think you can work out the translation of the clown emoji for yourselves. The last phrase the only (semi-)reference to everything that's been going on surrounding the new Shakira song. I wonder if he's listened to it...

For those of you not in the loop, by the way, the Kings League is a 7-a-side celebrity soccer league Piqué runs with Spanish Twitch star Ibai Llanos. Each team has a 'president' (like a captain), with Iker Casillas and Sergio Agüero involved with two of the 12 teams.

The marmalade... when Shakira sensed Piqué might be having an affair

When Shakira released Te felicito (Congratulations) last year, there was a clue in the official video that she already sensed that there could be a third person in her relationship with Gerard Piqué. Halfway through the video, Sharika is seen opening a fridge only to be confronted by Rauw Alejandro's head on one of the shelves.

Obviously, she was asked specifically about that shot in an interview. "You didn't open the fridge looking for milk, what were you looking for?" - to which the singer replied, "The truth". One theory that has surfaced is that Shakira noticed that some of the food in the fridge in the masion she shared with Piqué in Esplugues de Llobregat had been consumed - but not by her, by someone else. According to one commentator, it could have been what the jar of marmalade symbolised in the video, even though there is no hard proof that Clara Chía had been in the couple's house.

Shakira's new song full lyrics in English; clear shade on Pique

Sorry, I got another plane
I’m not coming back here
I don’t want another disappointment 
So much that you say you’re the champion
And when I needed you
You gave your worst version


Sorry baby I should have thrown you out a while ago
A wolf like me is not for beginners
A wolf like me is not for guys like you

For guys like you
I’m too good for you and that’s why you’re with someone just like you

This is for you to mortify yourself
Chew and swallow, swallow and chew
I’m not getting back with you, don’t cry for me, nor beg me
I understood that it’s not my fault that they criticize you
I only make music, sorry that it bothers you

You left me the in-laws as my neighbors
Media outlets at my door and in debt
You thought you hurt me, but you made me stronger
Women don’t cry anymore, they cash in.

She has the name of a good person.
It’s clearly not what it sounds like
She has the name of a good person
She’s clearly the same as you

For guys like you
I’m too good for you and that’s why you’re with someone just like you

From love to hate there’s a step
Don’t come back here, pay attention to me
Zero grudge baby,
I wish you good luck with my supposed replacement
I don’t even know what happened to you
You are so strange that I can’t even distinguish you
I’m worth two of 22 [year old]
You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo
You traded a Rolex for a Casio

You’re going fast, slow down
A lot of exercises but work the brain a little too

Photos where they see me
I feel like a hostage
For me everything is fine
I’ll vacate you tomorrow and if you want, she can come too

She has the name of a good person
It’s clearly not what it sounds like
She has the name of a good person
She’s clearly the same as you
For guys like you
I’m too good for you and that’s why you’re with someone just like you

Has Clara reacted to Shakira's song?

Well, weren't we all waiting for this moment...

Clearly, today everyone wants to know if Clara Chía Martí has ​​the name of a good person or not. In case you didn't get that, this is what Shakira says in her song referring to Pique's current girl: "She has the name of a good person. It’s clearly not what it sounds like."

Clara remains a mystery to the vast majority due to the absolute secrecy she practices in her life and her social networks.  However, it seems that a new story has surfaced on one of Clara's accounts (which we're not sure if it is the official one), reacting to the Colombian's song. 

In the video, barely four seconds long, we can see Chía herself very close-up dancing to an animated song, presumably that of the one from Barranquilla. And while we know everyone who has seen this story has played around with the volume button several times (including this writer), the story is silenced, not making it clear whether it's Shakira's song.
