Football.com.ph writer Ceres Lina later tweeted that Pique was at Solaire that night and may likely stay there for a few more days. It was uncertain if his wife, singer Shakira, also joined him in the vacation.
The news came to the delight of the Filipino football fans, especially those who follow Pique's career with Barca, which recently won a treble in European club play.
