'Let me speak!' - Furious Pique confronts referee after Barcelona lose Clasico to Real Madrid

Gerard Pique furiously confronted Clasico referee Jesus Gil Manzano after Barcelona's loss to Real Madrid on Saturday.

Barca slipped to third in La Liga following a 2-1 defeat at Estadio Di Stefano, with first-half goals from Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos wrapping up the three points for Zinedine Zidane's Madrid.

Oscar Mingueza netted a second-half consolation for the visitors, who felt hard done by after seeing Martin Braithwaite denied a late penalty, and Pique led their protests after the final whistle.
