First,Pique's form on the pitch dipped.Whether he was always thinking of his new 'love' on the pitch,we never knew.
Recently,however,her affair with Pique went a new level,albeit,indirectly.Real Madrid,bitter rivals to Barcelona,stopped the use of her tracks during football matches at the Bernabeu(their pitch).Why?She is a girlfriend to their 'enemy' of course.Ever since,analysts have had a field day.They have something new to talk about.
Personally,I like things like this.Football rivalry makes the game more entertaining,competitive and hostile,which is nice.
But Shakira has shown the powers of a woman...well,may be!
