The soccer world is accustomed to the outspoken nature of Gerard Pique. It has been seen mainly in the past while he represented his former club, FC Barcelona. In fact, he took it more seriously when he faced his favorite rivals, Real Madrid. Seemingly, he always defended his teammates, even at the cost of fighting his national players on the opposite grid. However, all of that has changed since his retirement.

Remarkably, the rivalry between Madrid and Barca is one of the most intense and famous rivalries in the world of sports. Somehow, that rivalry separates both teams’ fans and players, as they often banter with each other. Yet the very sport they play unites them. Interestingly, Pique was recently trolled by one of the legendary players at Real Madrid.

The banter game between Barca and Madrid players dates back a very long time. In fact, it even happens today among players who have already hung up their boots. Likewise, the latest incident is between Gerard Pique and legendary Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Both players know each other from their national camp days and have been fierce rivals for over 7 years.

Surprisingly, both relived the old days of bantering recently, as Casillas posted a selfie with the former defender. While it’s nice to see him post alongside his former Spanish teammate, it was the caption that caught everyone’s attention. As translated by DeepL, the goalkeeper wrote, “He gets rich. Maximum shamelessness!”

A post shared by Iker Casillas (@ikercasillas)

Apparently, Casillas made a reference to the legendary “he stays” caption that Piqué wrote next to a photo with Neymar when the latter’s future was uncertain. Additionally, the former goalkeeper also pointed out that the FC Andorra president is earning millions thanks to his new venture, the Kings League. Moreover, Casillas himself has earned the post of president in the Kings League

Indeed, it is a brutal troll from Casillas, which shows both have a unified bond despite the nature of their rivalry. Notably, both are also involved in Pique’s new venture that is making him rich.
