Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has weighed in on the controversial end to the Copa del Rey final basketball showdown between the Blaugrana and Real Madrid, taking a swipe at the latter's football team in the process.
Madrid were beaten 94-93 by rivals Barcelona on Sunday, and afterwards the capital club complained about a number of decisions from the officials that went the way of their rivals.
Pique was asked about the calls and said complaints from Madrid teams are common in both basketball and football, making reference to the recent 3-1 win Real enjoyed at local rivals Atletico Madrid, per Goal:
"[Madrid's complaints] happen in football, it happens in basketball, at least they don't have any other sports because we'd have to suffer it in hockey and handball too.
