“Lately, I have thought a lot about that boy, what would that Gerard have thought if he had been told that he would fulfill all his dreams: that he would reach the Barca first team, that he would win all the possible titles, that he would be champion of Europe and the world, that he would play alongside the best in history, that he would be one of the captains, that he would make friends forever”.

“25 years ago I joined Barcelona. I left and came back. Football has given me everything, Barca has given me everything. You, culés, have given me everything. And now that the dreams of that child have been fulfilled, I want to tell you that it is time to close this circle. I’ve always said that after Barca there would be no other team and that’s how it will be.”was another of the fragments of Piqué’s emotional speech.
