Gerard Pique appeared to be booed at an awards ceremony, as the fallout from the former Barcelona star's breakup with Shakira continues.
The two famous stars of their chosen fields have been going through the most public of breakups in the past few months, which was confirmed last summer.
As if ending a relationship after 11 years wasn't difficult enough, seeing it all unfold via viral songs and petty social media posts makes it all the tougher. Admittedly the latter one isn't unfamiliar for many, but not usually to well over 100 million followers combined.

Shakira's song about the World Cup winner caused much of the drama, with the former defender hitting back in some rather inventive ways.
She is set to release a second song on Thursday, which is both their birthday, but even before that he's had proof she's everyone's favourite.
Pique was involved in the Esland Awards ceremony on Twitch on Sunday and when he appeared on screen it sounded like he was being jeered and booed by the crowd in Mexico, as you can hear on the video below.
The Colombian music artist sang, "I’m worth two 22s. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded a Rolex for a Casio," in her initial 'diss track,' about her former partner.
It referenced Pique's newest love interest Clara Chia Marti, with the Barcelona born woman having now been made 'social media official' with the ex footballer.

That might have been what led the Mexican crowd to turn on the 36-year-old, who retired earlier in the season after a reported falling out with manager, and ex teammate, Xavi over playing time.
It has given him time to concentrate on his new venture, a seven-a-side league in Spain that has caught the attention of the internet, especially with a 'masked' player.
He took the lyrics in his ex's song very seriously, turning up to one of his events whilst driving a Twingo, the car she referenced his new girlfriend as.

It will hurt the former Manchester United defender's ego to know that Barcelona are not exactly suffering since he decided to hang up his boots.
The Nou Camp side have only conceded seven times in La Liga in their entire campaign so far and currently lead the title race.
That hasn't stopped them looking like fools when it comes to transfers though, and they managed to miss out on a deadline day deal by 18 seconds!
