Twitter reacts to reported Messi-Pique bust-up

Author: Web Desk

Madrid-based paper ‘El Chiringuito‘ has claimed that Barcelona captain Lionel Messi and defender Gerard Pique are having a sour relationship as of current.

According to the paper, Messi is not pleased with Pique over his performances lately which the Argentine believes are reason for Barcelona’s woes. On the other hand, Pique believes that Messi is not an ideal captain and that he should step up and face the media when the club is in turmoil.

Moreover, Pique is not too pleased with Messi giving interviews to Argentine press and not the Spanish one, while Messi has blamed Pique for Barcelona’s defensive woes saying that the defence is leaking way too many goals.

As soon as El Chiringuito made those claims, Twitter has been busy adding its two cents to the entire situation. Barcelona fans claim that the report is ‘fake’, while Madrid fans and those not having a favourable opinion of Messi and co are having a good laugh.

A Barcelona-news account translated the Spanish paper’s report first, which later caught fire and spread likewise.

‘I hope these reports are false’

This user said El Chiringuito were spreading lies.

‘Lazy journalism’ aimed at hurting Gerard Pique’s reputation

In response to the above mentioned Tweet, this user also said that the story was nothing but lies.

Madrid fans, however, found the entire situation pretty funny.

Barcelona will face Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley tomorrow at 12am Pakistan Standard Time.
