This was the emotional farewell speech of the Catalan central defender for devoted culé fans
Gerard Pique was moved on the Camp Nou pitch when he picked up the microphone at the end of the match against Almería, the day he retired from football as the leader and captain of Barça, his birth team. He cried like a child to address the fans. “First I want to thank you, because if you don’t forget me. For the companions, for the staff, for the doctors, physios, people of the gym, material, for those who do not help every day, it is easier. All those years on the board…” Geri said. He added that “in life when you grow up, sometimes wanting is to let go.”
“From so much love and passion between Barcelona and me, I think it was time to leave us a space, a little bit of air. And I am sure I will be here again in the future. This is not goodbye. I left when I was 17 years old and because I believed that moment needed a space too. Are you saying that my grandfather made me a partner when I was born. I was born here and I will die here.
