Former Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has announced his retirement in November 2022.
“The phrase that I said at parting at the Camp Nou was a good reflection of my state of mind. A lot has happened in my life, and not only on a professional level. Sometimes you realize that sometimes you have to make the best decision for everyone. Stopping playing for Barcelona is not what I wanted, but I realized that I had to do it. This phrase came by itself.
I ended my career for a number of reasons. I didn’t feel as important as in the old days, and I didn’t enjoy it. I will not go into details, whether I felt deceived by someone. It was the most useful decision for me and for the team. I made a thoughtful and correct decision, ”Sport.es quotes Pique.
