What did Pique say about Lionel Messi?

Regarding the Argentine’s return to FC Barcelona, in an interview with RAC1 he said, “If he is still motivated, it’d be normal to stay in Europe and then Barcelona can enter his plans. Or maybe he will go to MLS”, as translated by Marca. He continued, “For Barcelona fans, who know how he has made us feel, it would be a great feeling for all of us. Only he knows what to do with his future”.

The FC Barcelona veteran claimed that Messi’s decision over his future is purely a personal one. He has won every trophy he could have wished for after finally lifting the World Cup. Pique concluded by saying, “From now on, everything he decides is more a personal matter of where to find happiness”.

The fans were shocked after hearing Pique’s comments. The simple reason is that Messi’s wife, Antonella Roccuzzo has openly supported Shakira on multiple occasions. Shakira has become a sort-of arch-rival to Pique and his family due to the recent public feud. However, the Spaniard smartly kept his personal life and its differences aside before making any comments.
