The resounding victory sparked widespread reactions,including a lighthearted jab from former Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué directed at his former rival,Iker Casillas.
The encounter took place during the final of the Kings League World Cup, where Brazil emerged victorious against Colombia.

This moment, captured and shared by the Kings League’s official channels, quickly went viral. Fans drew parallels to a memorable incident in November 2009 when Piqué famously made the “little hand” gesture after Barcelona’s 5-0 demolition of real Madrid under Pep Guardiola.
