Barcelona legend Gerard Piqué and his girlfriend Clara Chia Marti were reportedly thrown out of a Japanese restaurant, as the owner was a fan of Shakira. A video of the couple leaving the restaurant was uploaded to TikTok.
It shows Piqué and Martí getting into their car after their proposed dinner night ended in disappointment. It is said that the ex-Blaugrana defender’s girlfriend was very upset by the incident.
Marca reports that the restaurant’s waiter refused to serve them when they entered because the owner was a fan of Shakira. The video shows Piqué scoring behind Clara Chia when they get into a car with the latter distraught. The TikTok video caption read:
“Clara Chia and Piqué went out to eat at a restaurant, and the owner is a fan of Shakira and personally ran Clara Chia Martí.”
PIQUE X SHAKIRA
🚨PIQUE X SHAKIRAA novel involving the former Spanish player and the Colombian singer wins a new chapter. Piqué is the lover, Clara Chía, who had been expelled from a restaurant by her own gift, who is Shakira’s fan. https://t.co/sTCI8ZoMLu
The duo have been in the public spotlight since going public with their relationship late last month. The former Spanish international uploaded a photo of the two lovers to Instagram.
That comes after the Barcelona great and Shakira decided to end their 11-year relationship in June of last year. Since then, the two have been at odds, with the Colombian singer releasing a dissident song about her and Clara Chia’s ex-partner.
Barcelona is 90 million euros better after the departures of Piqué and Antoine Griezmann
Piqué announced his retirement in November last year, playing his last game at the Camp Nou in a 2-1 win over Osasuna. He enjoyed an illustrious career with the La Liga giants, making 616 appearances, winning the UEFA Champions League four times and La Liga eight times.
Meanwhile, Griezmann left Barcelona in July last year and rejoined Atlético Madrid for €20m. His stage with the Blaugrana was forgettable, scoring 35 goals and 17 assists in 102 inter-competition games.
Barcelona director of football Mateu Alemany has revealed that the club is €90m better off following the duo’s departure. He said (via Soccer Spain):
“Since this summer we no longer have the contracts of Griezmann and Piqué, so they are €90M less (in the wage bill)”.
The Blaugrana have been dealing with financial problems. They need to reduce their salary bill by 170 million euros to comply with the league rules. His recent financial woes led to the departure of the iconic Lionel Messi in 2021.
