When Casillas dropped on the field like an angel from above, Piqué and company tried to convince him to shoot a penalty kick against the famed goalkeeper. While Ibai initially refused, Piqué won him over by showing him a video of famous soccer stars saying: “Ibai, do it.”

One of those stars included former Real Madrid coach José Mourinho, who is considered a god to many of the club’s fans. In the video, Mourinho told Ibai that getting a goal in would be easy.

“If I sat him on the bench, it must have been for a reason,” Mourinho said. “He’s really bad. You’ll get a penalty in easily.”
