Gerard Pique Barcelona defender finally explains his intimate photo with Ibrahimovic

Barcelona defender Garard Pique has finally explained his awkward photo with his former teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The
defender and the striker were seen in a photo taken several years ago
in a somewhat intimate position and many have wondered what could have
led to that pose.
The defender has revealed that he and Ibrahimovic were just talking when the photo was taken.
“I’d just released my autobiography and he came over to say 'well done',” Pique explain to FourFourTwo Magazine.
“I’m a tactile
person, very caring, and the photographer took the shot (of the two
holding hands). He was inside the training ground, so it couldn’t have
been someone from a gossip magazine.
“I couldn’t believe it turned into this massive thing."
Pique
also believed that the media blew the photo out of proportion at that
time to distract Barcelona a very crucial time of the season.
“I
can’t say the reaction surprised me. We were ahead of Real Madrid with
only a few games to go, so the press would jump on anything to
destabilise us. We still won the league, though,” Pique said.
