Barça's Pique clashes with journalist as Supercopa fallout continues

Gerard Pique's not thinking about keeping quiet. After the release of his voice messages with RFEF chief Rubiales as the two negotiated taking the Spanish Supercopa to Saudi Arabia, many journalists have made war on the Barcelona defender. But Pique is not shying away from the criticism on social media.

After replying to accusations from Cadena COPE, Pique has now targetted Manolo Lama, who was the latest to have his say on the issue.

"Dear Gerard Pique," he wrote. "I admire you as a football and a businessman, but please don't come here with lessons on morality.

"Remember what you said to a police officer. 'You're jealous because I am famous, you're fining me because you're getting commission, because you don't have money and you're going to get the commission. This report won't come to anything because I will call your boss and they will drop it, I am going to speak with your bosses. You're cocky and you think your something with your uniform and fining people... Your dad is going to pay this fine. You're a disgrace. Your job disgusts me.'

Lama continued: "With admiration, we are not your enemies. I am sure with the commission from the Supercopa, you will help a lot of people in need. If one day I need something, I already know you will speak with the King, who then doesn't mind being whistled when he arrives at the boxes and the Spanish anthem plays. Dear Pique, a big hug."

Pique replied with a certain irony, sending Lama a viral video of him mistreating a homeless person while covering a game, inciting Atletico Madrid fans to do the same.
