Barcelona won 1-0 against Valencia in the matchday 12 of La Liga because Robert Lewandowski scored in the 93rd minute of the clash.
However, it was not all good news for Barcelona. Jules Kounde was injured, he could not continue the game and he was replaced.
At that moment, the Barca coach called Gerard Pique to replace Kounde on the field but the truth is that he was not ready to play. In fact, Sergio Busquets had to help him to get his boots ready.
Xavi explained his situation when he was asked about it at the press conference: "He was missing his shin pads and socks."
The coach did not want to talk about it anymore but the truth is that Pique's behaviour got people talking on social media and the Barcelona fans were furious.
