The relationship between Leo and the former defender did not end in the best way in Barcelona.

Lionel Messi and Gerard Piqué are two of the members of the golden age of FC Barcelona under the technical direction of Pep Guardiola. Despite the fact that both were homegrown players from La Masía and knew how to represent Barcelona on the surface, the relationship between the two did not end in the best way due to a betrayal by the former defender.

As the journalist Juan Irigoyen reported at the time, Piqué was the one who recommended to the culé board not to renew the contract of the captain of the Argentine National Team to solve the Financial Fair Play problem. Since then there was a break in the bond between the two that never healed.

Now, Gerard suffers karma for his unfair action against the Flea. On the one hand, he became the target of criticism after his infidelity to Shakira was uncovered, but in recent days he received another hard blow related to the Kings League, an amateur championship that he created together with the famous streamer Ibai Llanos .

Piqué's Kings League fails on TV

After the success of the first streaming season, Gerard Piqué brought his league to Spanish television. However, after three days the numbers are getting poorer and the new league fails to convince viewers. When comparing this Sunday's broadcast with respect to the previous one, a loss of 440,000 viewers was recorded in the men's soccer section. On the other hand, the Queens League (alternative women's football) barely captured 160,000 spectators. This tournament is not generating the same interest as its first edition and is in danger of being lifted off the screen.
