Former Barcelona star Gerard Pique fell down a hole by the stage at the launch of his Kings League Americas competition on Tuesday night
The Kings League is a seven-a-side tournament that was established by Pique in Barcelona last year, and he is now looking to take the event to North America.
Pique attended the launch event, and following a presentation he made his way to the side of the stage to greet fans.
The 36-year-old appeared to be listening to a voice message on his phone and went to take a Barcelona shirt from a fan to sign it, but failed to spot a gap between the stage and the barrier holding the fans back.
As a result, Pique fell through the gap and disappeared completely from sight, leaving fans anxiously looking over the barrier to check that he was not hurt.
There was no sign of Pique for several seconds afterwards, and following the drop of approximately two metres there were concerns he could be badly hurt.
However, it is understood that he managed to escape uninjured from the incident.
The World Cup winner has regularly been in the news over the last 18 months following his split from pop star Shakira last year.
The couple, who have two children together, announced the end of their 11-year relationship in June 2022, with Shakira claiming Pique had been unfaithful.
Pique is now in a relationship with Clara Chia Marti, who is 10 years his junior.
Pique retired from football at the start of the year after a trophy-laden 15-year stay at Barcelona.
