Mourinho and Pique sit just a seat away from each other at the O2Getty Images
The Manchester United boss’ life hardly appeared ‘a disaster’ as he landed one of the best seats in the house to watch the 12-time Grand Slam winner Djokovic face Austrian Dominic Thiem.
But the look on face suggested otherwise, sat a few feet away from the Barcelona defender who once accused the Portuguese former Real Madrid boss of “destroying Spanish football”.
After a heated Supercopa final in 2011, Pique said: “Someone has to take action on the matter.
“Mourinho is destroying Spanish football.
“There is talk about the Catalans, but the problem is with Madrid.
“I think it’s going too far. It cannot always end well. In the end this will end very badly.”
Awkward.
