The Catalan Fuelled the Fire with a Comment on Twitter - Piqué and Arbeloa get the boot in on the web
Posted Friday, September 27, 2013 by Marca.com
It looked like the Madrid-Barça spats were a thing of the past, especially since Mourinho left. However, they have kicked off again after Real Madrid's controversial win over Elche.
Gerard Piqué tweeted on the events which occurred during the Elche-Real Madrid game: "Watching a comedy film on Canal + Liga... They are always good at this time of night!"
Álvaro Arbeloa took the bait and replied to Piqué via Twitter: "Delighted with the 3 points! I'm glad some people are swapping theatre for cinema. That's always a good thing!"
Arbeloa's theatrical reference was similar to what Mourinho said in 2006 after a Chelsea-Barcelona match in the Champions League. In that game, Asier del Horno was sent off for a challenge on Leo Messi, and Mourinho believed that the Argentinean was faking.
Ancelotti also replied to Piqué in a press conference: "He needs to focus on playing rather than talking; he's better on the pitch than off it."
