Pique, who already made headlines yesterday following his response on Twitter to a local journalist who claimed the brake did not cut his salary, retweeted Valencia's post and warned the bats: "Do not say it out loud, because you will be punished."

Of course this is not the first time that Pique claims that Real Madrid enjoys the help of the referees.
