«If we investigate Champions Real…»- Corriere.it

The Baragate caused two Spanish football greats to quarrel, Gerard Pique on the one hand and Iker Casillas on the other. The two, who have faced many in their careers Classics and that as teammates they won everything with the national team shirt, they said it outspoken in the live broadcast Twitch which anticipated the seventh day of the Kings Leaguethe particular 7-a-side football tournament created by the former defender and officially started last January 1st.

The scandal that hit Spanish football caused the clash,
or the almost 1.4 million euros that Barcelona allegedly paid between 2016 and 2018 to a private company attributable to Jos Mara Enrquez Negreira, at the time the vice-president of the referees’ technical committee: I heard something about the referees or something like that. It surprises me…, Casillas began ironically, intending to provoke his old adversary: ​​There’s a lot of noise, but there’s still nothing. Only advice, nothing illegal, replied Piqu defensively, who then increased the dose: If we begin to remove the veil that covers the Champions League and UEFA, Real comes out everywhere. And I don’t want to remember the championship that we lose due to a regular goal disallowed against Atletico (last day of the 2013/14 Liga).

Casillas a Piqu: You have to keep quiet for years

Faced with these statements, Casillas never saw us again and returned to the Baragate: Gerard, you have to keep quiet for years. This scandal is one of the biggest robberies people have seen in football. Then to this we can add other episodes, such as the theft at Stamford Bridge in 2009, the biggest robbery I have ever witnessed with Ballack and Drogba in the middle (HERE the story). Not to mention Pepe’s red card in 2011 that enraged Mourinho and the two years during which Real never received a penalty for his favour. The question and answer continued, because Piqu did not remain silent: Do I have to start remembering everything? Do I have to dig into offside goals from Mijatovic and Sergio Ramos in the 1998 and 2016 Champions League finals?
You really can’t talk about referees, Iker. Whereupon the former goalkeeper, furious, he took off the headset and then left the studio amid general embarrassment.

The previous

The two, who are fully involved in the Kings League project (Piqu the creator, Casillas one of the two former footballer presidents together with Aguero) had also clashed on the eve of the sixth day, always live on social networks, where the tournament is followed by over five million people. Before the Baragate broke out, everything started from the presence of the former referee in the studio Csar Muiz Fernndezwho in the 2012/13 season whistled a very dubious penalty in favor of Real with which the Blancos barely defeated Elche: One of Madrid’s many thefts!, all the disappointment of Piqu: Shame on you again for the robbery years ago with Chelsea, Casillas’ immediate response. No, they just don’t get along with the referees.
