Gerard Piqué is making headlines and not because Brazil's Miss BumBum has the hots for him. This time, Spain's defender has become a worldwide trending topic after his epic late goal during the 2016 UEFA European Championships.

On Monday, Spain's national team gained victory after the 29-year-old soccer star scored a late goal during the Euro 2016 group D football match between Spain and Czech Republic at the Stadium Municipal in Toulouse. By late, we mean almost 90 minutes into the game! Spain won the match 1-0.

Although she is always supporting his baby daddy in the field, Shakira was nowhere in sight and in fact celebrated Piqué's amazing goal back home. "Gol de Piqué, gol de España!" (goal from Piqué, goal from Spain), she expressed on her social media platforms as soon as he scored.

Shak, who is currently promoting "La Bicicleta" with Carlos Vives, also shared an adorable photo of their youngest son, Sasha, celebrating. "Celebrando el gol de papa con La Roja!!" (celebrating dad's goal with the red), she noted. "La Roja" means the color red in Spanish, representing the color of Spain's national team's jersey.

Spain will next play Turkey in the second week of the European Championships. The match is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on Friday, June 17.

Piqué recently made headlines after the daring Miss BumBum Universe 2015, Suzy Cortez, promised Barcelona fans that she would do a "nude tribute" if the Barcelona won a previous match against Granada.

Just days ahead of the big game, Cortez posted a photo flaunting her bare bottom while wearing a Piqué jersey. She also tagged the father of two in the photo trying to catch his attention.

Following Barcelona's big win, Cortez went ahead and posted a set of explicit photos with words reading Piqué by her side. No comments were ever made by the Spanish soccer star or the Colombian singer, who he has been dating since 2010. Check out some of the highlights of the Spain vs. Czech Republic game below. Piqué's goal can be seen as of minute 4:48.
