With Shakira by his side, Gerard Pique's celebrity had reached new levels, and the couple expanded their influence beyond music and sport.

Pop star Shakira's new song dissing her ex-partner  has broken a YouTube record.

Called  "Out of Your League", the track takes potshots at Pique for his rumoured relationship with a 23-year-old. “I’m worth two 22-year-olds, you swapped a Ferrari for a (Renault) Twingo," the Colombian star sang.

The track was the first-ever Latin song to have 63 million views in a period of 24 hours.

"Out of Your League" is a collaboration between Shakira and Argentine artiste DJ Bizarrap.

Pique, a star footballer, has responded to the track, saying that Casio made a sponsorship agreement with his King's League after the song was released.
