Pique saves the controversial day for 10 man Barcelona, a villain to a hero.
Barcelona,s perfect start to the new La Liga season came to an end against Girona on Sunday
night.
Lionel Messi opened the scoring after 19 minutes but a controversial red card shown to defender Clément Lenglet rocked the hosts.
Valverde reacted to the red card by throwing on Samuel Umtiti to fill the void at the back but six minutes after the restart Stuani gave Girona the lead, lashing home from the edge of the box after some more poor defending from Pique.
Pique had big roles for girona's both goals...
The former Manchester United defender would atone for the error, however, looping a header over the onrushing Girona goalkeeper to level the contest again.
A point sees the champions retain top spot in Spain but are now level on points with Real Madrid.
