Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique has hit back at some sarcastic barbs delivered on social media by veteran Real Madrid full-back Alvaro Arbeloa.
After watching La Liga leaders Barca lose 1-0 in Real Sociedad on Saturday, reducing the gap between themselves and Real to just four points, Arbeloa tweeted: "How hard it is to win against 11!," per Enda Kenneally of Spanish publication Marca.
But Pique was quick to fire back: "A player that has started only one match at the age of 32 [sic] doesn't deserve a response," according to a report for Marca from Alexandra Jonson.
