‘Hands up if football’s coming home!’ – Gerard Pique mocked after bizarre penalty for Russia

As a dramatic 2018 World Cup continued on Sunday, Spain took the lead against Russia in the last-16 when Sergei Ignashevich scored an own goal.

Spain were utterly dominant in possession but hadn’t had a single shot when Russia surprisingly drew level.

A cross came into the box and Gerard Pique… well, Gerard Pique did this…

The Barcelona centre-back was savaged on social media.

And it did not go unnoticed that another Barca centre-back had committed a similar error earlier in the tournament when France faced Australia.
