Pique promises Barca induced baby boom

AFP, BARCELONA: Defender Gerard Pique predicted a baby boom in the Catalan capital following Barcelona's sensational 6-1 thrashing of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
Sergi Roberto scored five minutes into stoppage time to cap the biggest Champions League comeback of all time from a 4-0 first leg defeat to reach the quarter-finals 6-5 on aggregate.
“I would say to the hospitals of Barcelona to hire nurses,” said Pique, who has two children with Colombian pop star Shakira.  “Tonight people will make a lot of love.”
Dramatic, late Champions League goals have a history of causing a spike in the birth rate in football-mad Barcelona.
“It's a miracle. We are in the quarters, which was the objective before it got a lot more complicated in Paris,” said Pique. 
“We never stopped believing, even the fans, who are normally the most pessimistic. It seems this new generation believes in the team more.  “We have done it all together and that helps a lot.” Andres Iniesta's famous stoppage-time equaliser to see the Catalans through a highly controversial semi-final against Chelsea in 2009 is credited with a 50 percent rise in the number of babies born around nine months later.
