Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is facing a charge for a social media post after Real Madrid's victory at Villarreal.

The refereeing technical committee (CTA), according to Iusport, has decided to charge Pique for the tweet which he published after Real Madrid's 3-2 victory over Villarreal, in which he pointed out refereeing inconsistencies.

The defender was recently punished for quotes made after the game against Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames in the Copa del Rey, and also for making a gesture at the presidential box after Barcelona played Villarreal.

Pique had not been happy with the work of Fernandez Borbalan at the San Mames or Iglesias Villanueva at the Estadio de la Ceramica. On this occasion Pique turned to Twitter to point out how Madrid and Barcelona had received different treatment after Bruno handballs and offside/not offside goals against Malaga.
