– I don’t remember exactly how it was, but he told me “I’m better than you”, and I, well, I try to do my best so that I don’t outgrow some movements. I try to do the best in my characteristics and possibilities. But it cannot be denied (that Messi is better) – said the defender after the incident.

Two seasons later, already with the Villarreal shirt on, it was González’s turn to argue ugly with Piqué in a game against Barcelona on April 2, 2019. The current Olympique player was sent off after a tough tackle in Suárez, he finished off with the rival defender, who was on the bench, and had to be stopped on the way out to the locker room. The teams tied 4-4.

Álvaro González was revealed by Racing Santander, and played for Zaragoza, Espanyol and Villarreal before moving on to French soccer last season. He has neither official titles nor matches with the Spanish national team in his career.
