The only thing better than Barcelona Classic winning is The Little Hand or a demolition of the rival by scoring five goals, something that took place last night in Saudi Arabia in the final of the Spanish Super Cup.

The video of the incident was published on the Kings League’s official social network with the title ‘Good evening everyone’, rubbing salt in Real Madrid’s wounds.
Interestingly, however, Piqué was not the pioneer behind the famous hand celebration. It was Johan Cruyff’s assistant, Tony Bruins Slot, in 1993-94 who first invented the gesture that has now become a tradition.
Piqué had the opportunity to show the gesture on the field for the first time in 2010, when Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 5-0 and repeated it in 2018, when the Catalans destroyed their rivals with a score of 5-0. 1.
He may not have been on the field last night, but the Cule inside him is still alive and so he took advantage of his opportunity.
