Gerard Pique has rubbished claims he swore during Spain’s national anthem on Tuesday evening.
Ivan Perisic struck a sensational winner three minutes from time as Croatia ended Spain's 14-game unbeaten run at the European Championship to top Group D after a 2-1 victory in Bordeaux on Tuesday.
However, the big talking point at the start of the game was the Barcelona defenders hand gesture, which many believed was a deliberate and unacceptable.
Speaking after the game, Pique has claimed people are simply looking for controversy.
“I’m cracking my knuckles during the anthem,” he posted on Twitter.
“Let's stop looking for controversy where there isn't any and try to win these Euros together.”
