Gerard Pique has claimed Pep Guardiola once fined him for wearing a short-sleeve shirt at Barcelona because it put the centre-back's "health at risk".
Pique, 36, retired from playing in November after making more than 700 senior appearances for club and country. The former Spain international, who started his career at Manchester United, often wore a long-sleeve shirt and has now opened the lid on why.
Pique has pinned the blame on his former Barcelona manager Guardiola, who once "scolded" the defender for wearing a short-sleeve shirt during cold weather. Pique was wise to listen to Guardiola, as the Spanish coach helped him become a world-class player.
