Gerard Piqué made a sarcastic quip aimed at Leganés player Recio after the latter protested the penalty given to Barcelona yesterday. Audio of the match captured by Cadena SER, which was played without fans in the stands, showed the defender saying to Recio: “Every play, you make a comment. Put a mic on the man, go upstairs and do commentary.”
Recio was protesting after Lionel Messi had gone on a long dribble, starting from right around the halfway line, and into the opposing penalty box, where he was judged to have been tripped by Unai Bustinza.
