Former Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has made a thing of the past to excite fans of their rivals Real Madrid and Espanyol. Los Pericos are the latest target of his antics.
The next Kings League event will take place in Turin in January, and Pique has halted promotional work for the event by ridiculing Espanyol. Pique appears in a video inviting Espanyol to a winter break friendly against the Spanish international team of the Kings League, with a fee of €1 million at stake. “We want to play against a team of our level,” Pique says in the video.
The marketing stunt comes at a particularly painful time for Espanyol. They currently sit 18th in La Liga as they battle against relegation. Their financial situation is also in dire straits and there is already talk of selling their star goalkeeper Joan Garcia or right back Omar El Hilali next summer.
