Pique's to and fro with Spanish radio station Cadena COPE

Gerard Pique didn't bite his tongue when it came to responding to the  'El Partido de las 12' Twitter account, which is a radio show on Cadena COPE.

It all began when the Barcelona defender made a joke about a theory behind Fernando Torres' 100th Atletico Madrid goal, which suggested his poor form in front of goal changed because of a hamburger.

They wrote: "We're talking with JAVI, the waiter at DON OSO who served TORRES the burger that changed his bad run in front of goal."

Pique replied: "It was a @natruscar, I'm sure! Now we just need to know who does his tattoos, his hair and the taxi drive who took him to the Calderon."

Era una @natruscat seguro! Ahora falta saber su tatuador, el peluquero y el taxista que lo llevó al Calderón. https://t.co/gmV6viXLuj

The Cadena COPE account then replied: "@Leo_Tattoos does his tattoos, his hairdresser is Ramiro Fernandez and his taxi company is Peton. And yes, it was a burger."

Su tatuador es @Leo_Tattoos, su peluquero Ramiro Fernández y su taxista Petón. Y si, era una hamburguesa. Abrazo https://t.co/QEzwH61UY7

Once again, it didn't take long for Pique to respond with humour, although this time in a different tone, referring to Manolo Lama's information - a journalist at the station - about Neymar eating out in Madrid last month.

He wrote: "And in what restaurant did Neymar eat in Madrid? Surely when it's a claim it should carry quotation marks?" 

👏👏👏👏👏 y en qué restaurante de Madrid cenó @neymarjr? Por cierto, el sí cuando es afirmación lleva tilde. 😉 https://t.co/6c8bKbp1ch

Their response this time was laced with even more sarcasm: "Good, Geri! It was Tatel and he left at 23.45 Catalan time, in maravillosa minoria [a reference to an Espanyol slogan]. Were you not with him, no?"

Pique had the last laugh, though, referring to the 4-0 win at the Bernabeu when he was last in Madrid in his final response. 

"Sorry, but I's sure I was not there. The last time I was in Madrid was on November 21... Bona nit!" he wrote.

¡Bien, Geri! Fue en Tatel, y salió a las 23:45 hora catalana, en maravillosa minoría ¿No estarías con él, no? ;-) https://t.co/DM7ZHNRW2d
