Pique reveals how he teases Madrid players on WhatsApp

Gerard Pique has unveiled a pretty interesting bit of personal information in a really good read on The Players’ Tribune.

The Barcelona defender has explained how he started a WhatsApp group including his team-mates and Real Madrid players and uses it to wind up los Blancos.

“I’m going to let you in on a little inside information, Everybody knows that footballers have text groups on WhatsApp. I have one just for my friends from home, and I have another just for my Barca team-mates. But my favourite one might surprise you.

“Earlier this season, when we were already eight or nine points clear of Real Madrid in the league, I started a special group for some of the guys on the Spanish national team who play for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

”All we do in that group is talk sh*t to one another about Barca and Real! It’s the best - we’re just like little kids.

”And the truth is, it’s especially hilarious for me right now, because now we’re up 15 points on Real in the league. So I’m getting very creative in my responses.

”Last season, when the Real guys were winning everything, they were feeling pretty good. They were talking s*** constantly whenever I saw them at national team training.

”Every time they won a match last season, they were posting shirtless photos on Instagram from the locker room. They were smiling and flexing their muscles like The Rock and saying #HalaMadrid and posting little trophy emojis.

”This season, though, it’s a different vibe. All their Instagram photos are looking very sombre. ‘Three points today. We must keep working harder!’

“So I’m texting them in the WhatsApp group: ‘Come on guys, why so serious?!’ Then I put a little crying emoji, and a laughing emoji.

”I even made a special name for the group. It’s called: ‘CONGRATULATIONS!’”
