Gerard Piqué was the involuntary protagonist of the Extraordinary Assembly convened by the FC Barcelona to activate the economic levers that will allow the club to alleviate the economic situation. It all started when the former president Joan Gaspart took the floor to defend the figure of the center-back, in addition to that of Leo Messiand later found endorsement by Laporta,
“Piqué deserves our love and recognition, it is not fair what is being done and said from the outside about our player, who has given everything and will continue to give everything,” Gaspart said in his statement. “What is his fault for being intelligent? All clubs would like to have players like that. What sin has he committed? We members should tell him that we love him and that whatever they say we feel proud of him. And then, with his mouth small you tell him to be less of a protagonist. But you must not enter into the dirty game that has been tried to discredit him, “he said.
The door signed the defense Gaspart and added more arguments. “President Gaspart, I see you fit”, she started saying. “Piqué is suffering. We have in our imagination players with fame, money and everything we like, but they are people and Piqué is a great person. He is one of the captains, he is lucky, and he has given us a lot and he has to give a lot. He has chosen to continue being a professional footballer. He had the duality of being a businessman or a footballer and he has chosen a footballer. And he has gone through a circumstance that is not pleasant at all, with children at a very young age and Piqué deserves the esteem and the love of the Catalans”, he said.

“Ignore the news that tries to leave him as a frivolous man, without feelings and that everything slips away from him. I am lucky to know him and to have treated him as a person. He is an extraordinary person who is suffering. And we have to help him. I will be the first to give him the love he deserves.”
