Shakira is Gerard's Pique-me-up

Seeking comfort ... Gerard gets a hug from Shakira

SHAKIRA puts a consoling arm around dejected boyfriend GERARD PIQUE after his team lost the Spanish Cup Final last night.

The beautiful Colombian singer was in the stands as Barcelona took on bitter rivals Real Madrid in the Copa Del Rey.
Despite putting in a decent shift, Pique couldn't stop his team going down 1-0 after CRISTIANO RONALDO's superb extra-time headed goal.
The loss was a rare blip in Pique's recent amazing run of form.
Barcelona are undoubtedly one of the finest teams on the planet and snaring snake-hipped Shakira was a masterful achievement.

Still Gerard cut a miserable figure as he made his way up the steps at Valencia's Mestalla stadium to pick up his runners-up medal.
On the way he got slight respite when Shakira tenderly cradled him in her arms.
This was Real's first Copa del Rey for 18 years and Barca boss Pep Guardiola's first defeat in a final after six wins out of six.
They will now lock horns again in the Champions League next week.
