Gerard Pique's property situated on 250 graves in one of largest necropolises in country

In the weirdest story of the day, a whopping 250 graves have been found underneath Gerard Pique's property in Malaga.

The Barcelona defender, 35, wants to build a luxury hotel on Spain's famous Costa del Sol after purchasing the land for around $20million (£17.3m) in 2015. Yet the project has run into complications after archaeologists bizarrely found dozens of graves.
