Bartomeu defended Pique:His reaction was normal

Barcelona President Josep Barthomeu sees nothing wrong with Gerard Pique`s reaction after the equalizer`s strike against the city`s rival Espanyol. Defender made the end of the game and brought the point of Blauwaranas in the heavy weather conditions of the stadium in Corneia de Jorge. Then Pique put a finger in front of his lips, inviting the hosts to silence.




The way Pique celebrates his goal is normal. Many players do it. Not for the first time we see a player who does something like this. It`s normal. We saw it at Camp Nou, as well as at other stadiums in Spain. This is a normal reaction after an important equalizing goal minutes before the end. He explained that he did it after insulting his wife, Barthomeu said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo on his 55th birthday. Valencia plays well, is strong in the league and has a young team.

We have to work to celebrate after the second game, was his commentary on the semi-final match with the Valencians in the King`s Cup tournament. The rematch is on Thursday at Mestaya stadium.
