Fans know Gerard Pique for his outspoken nature. The former Barcelona defender doesn’t hold back and gives back everything once the right time comes. However, this time the former Spanish superstar waited exactly six months to fire back at LaLiga President over his Kings League jibe.

The unique seven-a-side brainchild of Pique is garnering attraction from soccer fans. After a successful winter split, the summer split is approaching the end, and the semifinals and finals will take place at the Wanda Metropolitano, home to Atletico Madrid. Pique has called Javier Tebas for the final, firing back at him.

Gerard Pique invites LaLiga president for the Kings League’s final stretch

Gerard Pique announced retirement from professional soccer in November of last year. In the process, the legendary defender gave up millions of his outstanding Barcelona salary and bonuses. The question what’s next for Pique? He did have a Kosmos Company, but his love for soccer saw the former defender venturing into the unique league. 

The Kings League was born last year, and earlier this year, we saw a successful winter split. However, La Liga president Javier Tebas wasn’t impressed with the idea and slammed the new venture labeling it as a circus. Tebas said that the league is incomparable to La Liga and is full of streamers as club owners. Tebas added, “I hope you will ask me this question in six months, let’s see how much we talk about the Kings League.”

And exactly six months later, the former Blaugrana defender has fired back with a tweet. Pique wrote, “Six months ago of this,” tagging the article regarding Tebas criticism. He further wrote, “Javier Tebas, come to the Metropolitano tomorrow to see if they keep talking about Kings League. We’ll have a good time! You’re invited.” 

It will be interesting to see whether Tebas attends the Kings League final on July 29.
