Shakira gives birth to Milan Piqué

Shakira gave birth to her first child, a boy, on Tuesday in Barcelona. The Colombian pop star and her boyfriend, the Spanish football player Gerard Piqué, named the boy Milan.



"Milan means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious, and in Sanskrit, unification", the star said in a statement posted on her website.



"Just like his father, Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth", the couple said in a statement.



Shakira, 35, announced her pregnancy in September after bowing out of a performance in Las Vegas.

Tito Vilanova: 'I warned Gerard Pique at half time'

Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has admitted that he told Gerard Pique to "be careful" before the defender was given a red card in their 3-2 defeat to Real Sociedad on Saturday.

The centre-back was dismissed in the second half for two bookable offences and Vilanova declared that he had warned the Spain international at the interval.



"At half time, I told Pique to be careful as his next foul would most likely result in a second caution," Vilanova told reporters after the game.



"Even if his sending off was for a clear foul, there must have been 200 other cases similar to his tonight. I don't have to add more."



The defeat ended a 19 game unbeaten run for Barca.
