Barcelona: Milan Pique Mebarak, the newborn son of Colombian pop star Shakira and Spanish soccer player Gerard Pique, has become a member of his father's FC Barcelona club at birth.
Former club director Amador Bernabeu, Pique's grandfather, registered the baby with member number 171,761 Wednesday, just hours after he was born Tuesday night at a Barcelona hospital.
The team's current ambassador to UEFA formally registered his great-grandson in the company of the vice president of FC Barcelona's Social Area, Jordi Cardoner, having previously received the gifts traditionally bestowed by the club on its newborn members.
Twenty-five years ago, Bernabeu also registered his newborn grandson, Gerard, as an FC Barcelona member.
"The day (Pique) was registered 25 years ago I promised I'd make his son a member. I thought he should continue the tradition and, therefore, that his son should have the same honour and be a (member) from the very beginning," Bernabeu said.
FC Barcelona is led by Argentine superstar Lionel Messi and several members of Spain's 2010 FIFA World Cup-winning squad, including defenseman Pique.
The soccer club has arguably been the world's best thus far this century, having won three of the past seven UEFA Champions League crowns. It also is the favorite to win this season's title.
Shakira and Gerard Pique's baby boy, Milan was born about two weeks ago, and after receiving the full run down on his birth, we're finally getting his very FIRST picture!!!
The GAWRGEOUS couple released their new bundle of joy's photo on their UNICEF website, and he's everything we thought he would be… FREAKIN' HANDSOME!
But what makes this photograph even more AH-MAYZING is that we get to see some daddy-son love. We can already tell that Gerard is an incredible father, and we didn't expect anything less — especially because he pulled a smoking hawt mama like Shakira. LOLz

Shakira's proud boyfriend Gerard Pique tweeted a photo of his son - showing his tiny feet encased in a personalised pair of Nike trainers.
The trendy shoes boasted the baby's name, Milan, along the side. 'Milan's feet!' wrote Pique.
And while they looked a little big for the newborn, they were certainly cute.
