Gerard Pique

For me, coming to the national team is like coming home.

When I can talk about my teammates who help make me a better player, or even the coach who gave me the self-confidence to continue being who I am, these are fundamental people who have had an influence throughout my life and my professional career, and I'm very thankful to them, and they know it.

I am privileged and very happy to be a professional sportsperson, but should that make people so angry?

I can't stand comparisons to the past. It doesn't matter what we did in previous seasons.

I'm very proud of all the career I've had with the national team.

It is very difficult to find a player who stays at the same club for the whole of their career.

I think Jurgen Klopp is doing a great job at Liveprool. The style of play is the opposite of Guardiola.

I've done most of my career with Barca, with the exception of the period I played for Manchester United.

Being called up to the national team isn't a competition of who's more patriotic.

Not everything, always, is about your performance. It's about the team performance. When the team is not playing well, then normally, you will not play well. It's all about the team.

There comes a point when you realise that you're storming forward, that you can beat anyone, and this is what has ended up winning us the league and putting us in two finals.

It seems like when I don't talk so much, people praise my performances more.
