Piqué is the urbanite from a respected family with political, social and economic muscle in Catalonia, son of a prestigious doctor, grandson of a former Barcelona director, handsome, bright, eloquent and outgoing, engaging: the cheeky, self-assured kid who expected to inherit his father’s business and says he would like to be Barcelona’s president. (x)
Alex Ferguson, who had managed Piqué at Manchester United, wrote in his memoir: “Piqué was without doubt the most underrated player in [Barcelona’s] team . . . Guardiola told me he was the best signing they had made.”
Accordingly, Guardiola rarely dared rest him. Barça’s then assistant coach Tito Vilanova recalled in 2011: “There was a moment when we prayed for Piqué’s health. If he’d gone down injured, everything would have gone down.” (x)

“I am and I feel Catalan… More than ever I’m proud of Catalonia and the way they went out to peacefully vote despite the actions of the Spanish police…
If anybody from the national team thinks I am a problem, I’ll step down [from the team] before 2018. As Catalans, we’re just trying to exercise our right to vote. Playing for the Spanish NT shouldn’t be a competition of patriotism…
You could vote for yes, no, or leave your ballot blank. Here, during Franco’s era, we didn’t have the right to vote. Now we have to protect that right… Today has been my worst experience as a professional player. The images being shown today to the world about what’s going on in Catalonia are regrettable…“
