Barcelona defender Gerard Pique on Thursday uploaded a picture with captain Lionel Messi on Twitter, brushing aside all rumours of a possible spat between the two veterans.
Earlier this week, Spanish paper El Chiringuito claimed that Pique and Messi had a ‘bust-up’ over several differences regarding how the team needs to be performing.
The paper claimed that Pique was not happy with Messi
8217;s captaincy and believed the Argentine needed to do more as in-charge of the Blaugranes. On the other hand, Messi was not pleased with Pique
8217;s defensive performances and wanted him to sort a few things out.
