Here is Gerard Pique entering the Nou Camp last night before Barcelona's 3-1 Champions League win over PSG, wearing a bizarre hooded jumper that made him look more like medieval knight.

Dressed like he was ready for battle in his 'jumperclava', Pique created a storm on the social media before the game.

Barca won the match thanks to goals from Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, fighting back from a goal down after Zlatan Ibrahimovic had put PSG ahead.

But maybe he was wearing the clothing in homage to the wrestling icon Scott Steiner (below), former WCW heavyweight champion, who went under he nickname of "Big Poppa Pump".

Barca travel to Getafe in La Liga on Saturday, all eyes will be on whether Pique will continue to wear the get-up.
