2010 was a crazy year for Gerard Pique. It was the year when Gerard Pique met Shakira for the first time and fell in love. The couple had two kids together but their relationship ended controversially in 2022. 2010 was also the year Pique won the FIFA World Cup with Spain.

All these memories are good, but there is one instance from 2010 that Pique would most likely just like to forget. It is a picture of Gerard Pique with MLS legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic that went viral. Both Zlatan and Pique were part of the Barcelona squad at the time, and the picture of them close face to face caused quite a stir.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s response to a controversial take
Seeing the picture, one female reporter joked that Ibrahimovic was homosexual due to the two of them looking like they are having an intimate moment. Ibrahimovic, as we all know, is not a personality to shy away from clapping back at comments on him. And of course, he didn’t let this slide. He had the most ‘Zlatan’ reply to the statement.
A female reporter joked that Zlatan Ibrahimovic was gay due to this photo with Gerard Piqué and this was his reply:

“Come to my house and you’ll see if I’m gay. And bring your sister too,” he said. The reporter had no further counters to this statement from the MLS legend. Eventually, the controversy has somewhat died down in the decade, but it was resurrected recently when Gerard Pique broke up with Shakira.

Rumors regarding Shakira and Pique’s breakup
It was the end of an era when Shakira and Pique announced their breakup in June 2022. The couple had been together for 11 years and were one of the most loved power couples in the entertainment industry.
The reason for their breakup was not clear, and this led to rumors circulating that Pique had broken up with Shakira because he was having a long affair with men. The leading rumor of this was about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose controversial picture went viral in 2010. However, as we all know, that was not the case. Pique actually cheated on Shakira with a 23-year-old woman named Clara Chia Marti.
