Gerard Piqué: "The thing that makes me the most proud of my career is that I lived my dream to the fullest. I played for the club I loved since I was a child, and enjoyed every single moment."
Piqué: "In my career, I had the passion, the drive... I think I gave it my all, the best way I could."
Piqué: "Now that I'm retired, I want to continue working on projects that I love. I want to contribute to the development of football in my own way."
Piqué: "I lived a great career without any regrets. For me, that is true success."
Piqué: "In 2014, the polls only showed a 1% voting intent on Bartomeu. 6 months later, we win the treble and he easily wins. How can people's opinion change so quickly? Nothing changed. Not the management, not the coach, not the players, not the way of management... nothing!"
Piqué: "Analyzing the situation at Barcelona is difficult, because it's very emotional. In January 2015 there was a crisis with Leo Messi and Luis Enrique, and it became institutional. There was a lot of noise around the club, like always."
Piqué: "I know Lamine Yamal, and his personality is incredible. He's a star, but if he was part of our generation, would he have played? I don't know."
Piqué: "Players like Cubarsí, Balde, Gavi... Would they have had a chance to play in our generation? I don't know. I think they play out of necessity, not because there is real confidence in them."
Piqué: "La Masia will always remain an incredible source of talent. It's part of Barcelona's identity and style of play."
Piqué: "I think Barcelona is well covered sportingly, and have the potential to win many titles in the coming years."
Piqué: "I would never in my life wear a Real Madrid shirt. Not even the ones the players exchanged with me after the games. Impossible. Never."
