As a professional footballer, there’s nothing more crushing than losing a cup final.



And if you play for Barcelona, defeat at the hands of your bitterest rivals Real Madrid only heightens the disappointment.



Luckily, for one player, there was a fine consolation prize waiting in the stands at Madrid.



Gerard Pique, 24 , was the lucky man in question, and his commiseration came at the hands of his stunning girlfriend Shakira, 34, who also just happens to be a pop superstar.
