The Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid once again made history. In the final of the Spanish Super Cup, played in Saudi Arabia, Barcelona crushed their Madrid rivals 5-2. It was an impressive performance that gave Gérard Piqué the opportunity to mock the Merengues with a sense of humour. His reaction, captured on video, quickly went viral.
The SuperClasico put on a spectacular show for fans in Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening. Barcelona, buoyed by a brace from Raphinha, a goal from Lamine Yamal and a penalty converted by Robert Lewandowski, crushed Real Madrid 5-2. Despite individual brilliance from Kylian Mbappé, who scored a superb opener, and Rodrygo, who scored a magnificent free-kick, Real Madrid were never able to respond collectively. This victory confirms the Blaugrana’s current superiority over their historic rivals. But it was not just on the pitch that the hostilities took place.
Barça legend Piqué reignites the provocation
Former Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué could not remain silent after such a drubbing at the hands of Real Madrid. Now a businessman, he has found an original way of recalling that success. After watching the game with former Merengues goalkeeper Iker Casillas, Piqué repeated a gesture that has become iconic.
The gesture, known as the ‘little hand’, refers to Barça’s historic 5-0 victory over Real Madrid in 2010, under the Pep Guardiola era. This Sunday evening, Pique approached Casillas and mimed this ‘little hand’ in front of his face to recall the resounding 5-2 Spanish Supercup final scoreline. Casillas, although surprised, tried to push his former team-mate’s hand away with a knowing smile.

The scene, shared by the official Kings League accounts, immediately drew a reaction from Internet users. In just a few hours, the video went viral. Despite the controversy, Piqué has once again shown that he is a key figure in the world of the Clasico, even after his retirement.
In any case, despite their respective pasts at enemy clubs, Gérard Piqué and Iker Casillas have shared a solid friendship since their days in the Spanish national team. Together, they won the World Cup and the Euro, forging a strong bond. But during the Clasicos, this friendship often gives way to fierce competition.
