VIDEO: Did Luis Enrique instruct Gerard Pique to get booked against Arsenal?

This is certainly an interesting one.

During their post-match summing up on BT Sport, Gary Lineker, Rio Ferdinand, Ronald Koeman and Ian Wright noticed something dodgy in the game-time footage of Arsenal vs Barcelona. In the 84th minute, shortly after Barca had scored their second goal in a 2-0 victory, their manager Luis Enrique was seen calling Gerard Pique over for a quick word. As soon as play resumed and an Arsenal player was within touching distance - which happened to be Danny Welbeck - the usually serene and in control Pique needlessly scythed the forward down. The result was a clear booking, which means that the defender is suspended for the second leg. With a two goal cushion and home advantage to come, was Enrique already planning for the next round? The lads in the studio certainly thought so... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KULJkuMcRfg The incident was raised at the post-match press conference, with Enrique unsurprisingly denying the suggestion. https://twitter.com/henrywinter/status/702253254395224064 Well he would, wouldn't he?
