Spanish player Gerard Piqué is experiencing a tense period following his declining performance with FC Barcelona last season and his recent breakup with renowned Colombian singer Shakira. A report from the Spanish newspaper "Marca" indicated that the Spanish international is living in a state of anger and stress that has affected his behavior towards the media, as he lashed out at photographers while they were trying to take his pictures.
Journalist Jordi Martín from the program "Maria Patiño" boldly asked Piqué about the announcement of his separation from Shakira, which has led to hundreds of news articles about them. The show hosted by Maria Patiño revealed that Piqué has not been appropriate in his dealings with the press that pursues him, and it seems he might not be having a happy time at all right now.
According to the "Socialité" program, Piqué broke the mobile phone of photographer Jordi Martín while the journalists were photographing him. Jordi Martín recounted the incident on "Socialité": "He threw my cellphone on the ground and escaped in his car, running a red light."
FC Barcelona had requested that Piqué focus on football and distance himself from personal issues and private matters, or else he would not be welcome within the Catalan team. Meanwhile, Shakira is also not going through a good time lately, as the singer had to call the Catalan police after two fans wrote words on the walls of her home. The report noted that the police managed to arrest one of the suspects harassing the Colombian artist, but he was released due to a lack of convincing evidence.
