Pique's dress sense mocked by Barcelona teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng

Gerard Pique's sweatpants provoked a strong reaction from Kevin-Prince Boateng Instagram @princeboateng

He may have only been at Barcelona a week or two, but Kevin-Prince Boateng has already settled in at Camp Nou.

So much so that the journeyman midfielder -- whose 10 previous clubs include Tottenham, Dortmund and AC Milan but more recently Las Palmas, Eintracht Frankfurt and Sassuolo -- feels comfortable mocking his new teammates' fashion choices on social media.

Boateng, who recently sealed a shock loan move to the defending champions of La Liga, shared a photo on Instagram of himself and Gerard Pique in which he called out the defender -- one of the most decorated players on the planet -- for his floral-patterned pants.

"What are thoseeeeeeeee?", the Ghana international asked incredulously while pointing at Pique's gloriously flamboyant knickerbockers.

Pique was actually wearing a pair of tracksuit pants described by Nike as "inspired by football warm-ups with a unique, street-ready palm print."

Hey, he's Gerard Pique; professional footballer for Barcelona, World Cup winner, burgeoning sports media magnate, married to Shakira... He can wear whatever trousers he likes.
