I don't care, I'm a world champion and you're nobody." After the player's response, those attending the event began to chant: "Shakira, Shakira." Piqué did not remain silent and continued shouting, "What's up, what's up?"

The controversy did not stop with the shouting. The newspaper El Mundo reported that Iker Casillas requested the song Waka Waka, the hit song that Shakira sang at the 2010 World Cup.
