Watch Gerard Piqué on Spanish Late-Night Television
Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué invited himself onto David Broncano's late-night show via Twitter, showed up at Teatro Arlequín, and sat through a Spanish interview that starts with jokes most English speakers will never hear.

La Resistencia is one of Spain's most-watched late-night comedy shows. Host David Broncano is known for crude humor and unpredictable interviews. Gerard Piqué—at the time still playing for FC Barcelona—saw a joke exchange on Twitter and invited himself on.
The conversation moves through football, money, celebrity, and Piqué's business ventures. Broncano's opening is deliberately provocative, which is part of the show's format. Later in the interview (not shown in the 30-second preview above), Piqué made headlines by saying his net worth was bigger than RCD Espanyol's budget—a comment that became its own news cycle in Spanish sports media.
The interview is in Spanish. English speakers miss the tone, the timing, and the entire setup that makes Spanish late-night comedy work. Most people bounce after a few seconds of hearing a language they don't understand.
How to watch the full interview with English subtitles
Translator is a desktop app that lets you download videos, add translated subtitles, and watch them in your language. Here's the workflow:
- Paste the YouTube URL — Copy the video link and paste it into Translator's download field.
- Download the video — Translator pulls down the video and any available captions. This is free and happens on your machine.
- Transcribe or translate — If the video doesn't have Spanish captions, you can transcribe it using AI. If it does, you can translate those captions to English. You can use Stage5 credits (pay per minute) or bring your own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic.
- Watch with subtitles you control — The app plays the video with your translated subtitles. You can edit the timing, fix translations, choose subtitle styles, and export the final SRT file.
The video stays on your computer. You're not streaming it through a web app or uploading it to someone else's server. Translator works locally.
What's free, what's paid
- Free: Downloading videos, managing your library, editing subtitles manually, and exporting SRT files.
- Paid: AI transcription and translation. You can use Stage5 credits (example: $1 for ~50 minutes, $10 for ~18 hours) or unlock BYO once for $10 and bring your own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic to pay them directly.
Spanish sports media in English
Spain produces some of the best football content on YouTube—interviews, analysis, documentaries. Most of it doesn't have English subtitles, and YouTube's auto-generated translations are often incomplete or missing for older videos.
Translator gives you control: choose your translation model, edit the subtitles line by line, adjust timing if the captions drift, and export the final file. If you've been clicking through Spanish football interviews, Brazilian MMA content, or Korean variety shows and wishing you could follow along without guessing, this is what the app does.
This isn't about replacing your browser's auto-translate feature. This is for videos you actually want to sit down and watch—where the accuracy of the subtitles and your ability to control them matters.
