Gerard Pique takes on Real Madrid: Will it ever end?

Even when he's halfway around the world, Gerard Pique just cannot let it lie. The Barcelona defender's running verbal battle with most of the Real Madrid squad continued in Japan on Wednesday as he refused to back down after igniting yet another row, this time with Alvaro Arbeloa and Sergio Ramos. We all know there's little love lost between Barca and Madrid, but no figure on the pitch seems to embody the rivalry more closely than Pique. Right now he's almost 6,500 miles away in Yokohama - where Barca enter the Club World Cup at the semi-final stage on Thursday - but Real are seemingly very much on his mind. He has been booed by Spain supporters angry at his anti-Madrid stance, he's been told to grow up, and to show more respect. But will Pique change his ways? Here's the story so far.
