Guti trolls Pique after Barcelona draw at Valencia

Former Real Madrid ace Guti has given Gerard Pique a taste of his own medicine by taking to Twitter to mock the Barcelona defender over Saturday's draw with Valencia.

Pique caused controversy on Wednesday by expressing his amusement at Madrid starting the suspended Denis Cheryshev in their Copa del Rey meeting with Cadiz - an error that resulted in the capital club being kicked out of the competition.

However, Guti has now bitten back, taking advantage of Barca's surprise draw at Valencia to mock Pique and the rest of Luis Enrique's men for allowing Santi Mina to score in the 86th minute.

"Congratulations Barca for this point," Guti tweeted with a stream of similar emojis to that which Pique used in his mocking tweet during the week.

Barcelona had a six-point lead over Real Madrid reduced this weekend to four points as Rafa Benitez's men defeated Getafe 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid continued their quiet charge as Diego Simeone's 150th match in charge of the Vicente Calderon club ended with a 2-0 triumph over Granada, leaving them just two points behind reigning champions Barca.
