Gerard Pique Mocks Real Madrid Icon Iker Casillas With Celebration After El Clasico
Barcelona legend Gerard Pique was spotted teasing Real Madrid icon Iker Casillas following the latest El Clasico on Sunday, January 12. Los Blancos were beaten 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup Final against their arch-rivals.
Kylian Mbappe (5') and Rodrygo (60') were on the scoresheet for Carlo Ancelotti's side. Lamine Yamal (22'), Robert Lewandowsi (36' P), Raphinha (39', 48'), and Alejandro Balde (45+10') found the back of the net for Barca.
Barcelona won the Supercopa de Espana thanks to their dominant form. Hansi Flick's team have now secured two big-margin wins against Real Madrid this season as they bagged a 4-0 La Liga triumph at the Santiago Bernabeu earlier in the season.
