There’s no doubt that Shakira is madly in love with Gerard Piqué! The Colombian singer took to social media to share how proud she is of the soccer player for his work ethic and always putting his team first.

“Gerard won’t let me say these things publicly. But only he, with his heroism, can play like this going through any injury or pain and always giving his best. It’s not because he’s my husband, but he’s the best center back in the world; I’ve said it!” she posted on Twitter.

The singer’s comments come after the Barça defender and his teammates declared victory over Real Madrid during their most recent match at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. “We Are Back,” Shakira’s boo wrote on Twitter, referring to the 4-0 results.
