Barcelona pair Pique and Umtiti facing Bartomeu rebuke

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is facing a rebuke from president Josep Maria Bartomeu over his Antoine Griezmann documentary.

In the doco, Griezmann snubbed Barca to commit to Atletico Madrid.

AS says Bartomeu wants to talk to Piqué face-to-face after the World Cup when he hopes Piqué has calmed down a little bit in order to fix the problem. The club is wary of starting a fight with a player who has as much influence as him.

They do, however, want to draw a line regarding behaviour and this could be a turning point.

Barcelona haven't forgotten Samul Umtiti's involvement in promoting the documentary through his social media channels either. Barca chief Jordi Mestre warned the French defender that he would be called over the subject along with Piqué.
