The strain was clearly showing with Pique before the interval. After Mbappe's first of the night, the defender was seen (and heard) trying to rally teammates. This quickly descended into a heated exchange with Antoine Griezmann, which has been translated by Marca.
It begins with Pique urging his teammates to keep the ball for longer:
Pique: "Let's have a long possession, for f**k's sake," Pique shouts at his teammates. "F**king hell! Let's go. A f**king long possession!"
Griezmann: "Calm, Geri, stop shouting."
Pique: "F**king hell Grizzi, f**k's s..."
Griezmann: "F**k you."
Pique: "No, f**k you. We're suffering and it's been like this for five minutes."
Griezmann: "Don't shout."
At this point, Clement Lenglet attempts to defuse the situation, urging his teammates to calm down and keep focus. His intervention proves usuccesful.
Pique: "Motherf**ker, we're running like crazy."
Griezmann: "I'm running too."
The row soon dies down as Barca are forced to defend a corner. Footage of the incident, which we're not permitted to stick in here without getting a ticking off from whoever owns the broadcast licence, has been widely shared on social media.Explore more on these topics:
