Columbian pop singer, Shakira was spotted in the crowds during the King's Cup final between Barcelona and Real played at Valencia's Mestalla stadium on Wednesday.

The Waka Waka singer is dating Barcelona's central defender Gerard Pique. However, her support from the stands was not enough as Pique and his team mates failed to quell Real Madrid's challenge and lost 1-0.
