Piqué: “Shame is the word; we need changes”

Gerard Piqué's face was a poem. The Barcelona center-back, after the 2-8 that Bayer endorsed him in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, practically burst into tears at Movistar +. The Catalan spoke of “horrible game”, of “disastrous feeling” and literally of “shame”. Tough terms for an exhibition in which he left a clear message: Barcelona needs a top-down reform.

“Shame is the word. You cannot compete like this, it is not the first, nor the second nor the third time that happens to us. That way we cannot go to Europe. We need changes and I am not talking about players and coaches. We need changes of all kinds , at the structural level. I am the first to offer to go because we need new blood, we must change this dynamic. I think now we have hit rock bottom, “said the Barça captain still on the Da Luz stadium pitch.

Piqué, who could not stop the German forwards at any time, invited all levels of the club to “look, reflect internally and decide what is best for Barcelona.”
