Helguera responds to Pique gesture

Real Madrid had a day to forget when they travelled to Catalonia to face Barcelona on Sunday. 

'Los Blancos' fell to a 5-1 defeat, which proved to be the final straw for manager Julen Lopetegui. He was sacked the day later, with Madrid left languishing in a lowly ninth place. 

Pique angered Helguera with his iconic 'five' hand gesture. 

In fact, he re-created a rather iconic moment from a famous Clasico back in 2010 after Vidal scored Barcelona's fifth goal. 

He repeated the celebration on Sunday, something which did not sit well with the former Galatico.

Helguera, who made 229 Real Madrid appearances, used an old Buddha tale to his widsom. 

“Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?” Helguera posted on social media. 

“It would belong to me, because I bought the gift,” one of the disciples replied. 

“That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself", Buddha added.
