After the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which offered a future clash between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona, the competition created by the Spaniard.
It’s the sprinkler watered. While the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League resulted in a clash between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona, the X account (ex-Twitter) of Ligue 1 in Spanish returned provocatively to the last confrontation between the two teams.
At the time, PSG won 5-2 on aggregate in the round of 16, and Kylian Mbappé, completely elusive, scored a hat-trick in the first leg. Gérard Piqué, lined up in central defense that day, suffered against the French striker.
“This is how the Kings League was born,” quipped the Ligue 1 account, referring to the competition created by the Spaniard at the start of his retirement.
“Shh” emoji and four Champions Leagues
The link between Mbappé’s demonstration and Piqué’s retirement is slightly far-fetched, since there is, between the two, almost two years. But the symbol is there: the meeting against PSG will remain as Piqué’s last in the final phase of the Champions League. Except that the Kings League, stung, did not wish to suffer the provocation without saying anything.
A few minutes after the Ligue 1 message, the account of the competition created by Piqué responded with an equivocal montage, presenting the four Champions League won by Piqué, while the French clubs only have one, it more than 30 years ago. The message is accompanied by a finger on the mouth emoji, as if to close the debate.
