The defender of the Spanish national team and club Gerard Pique reacted sharply to the announced results of the voting for the best footballer playing in Europe.

After UEFA officially announced the votes of all 53 journalists, it became clear that the journalist Francisco Justicia from the Spanish newspaper "Marca" did not vote for his compatriot Andres Iniesta, but for the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.

The newspaper "Marca", based in the Spanish capital, is known for its not very objective favoritism towards the Madrid team "Real". In these elections, "Marca" represented Spain instead of the journalists from the usual publication "Don Balon".

"Congratulations to the journalist representing Spain and NOT voting for Andres Iniesta," - an ironic remark in his social media account on Twitter wrote Pique.

This message was repeated almost 20 thousand times by social media readers following the footballer's posts.
