Last summer, Lionel Messi left FC Barcelona to join PSG. By leaving, the Argentinian left a big void in Barça's squad. And it will be difficult to fill according to Gerard Piqué.
Last summer, Lionel Messi created a thunderbolt in the world of football. At FC Barcelona since he was 13, the Argentinian has been forced to leave his long-standing club for lack of funds to extend his contract. With a heavy heart, the 34-year-old finally flew to PSG , to the delight of Leonardo and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi . On leaving, the six-time Golden Ball left a big void in the FC Barcelona squad. Gerard Pique revealed that it was going to be difficult to compensate for the contribution of Lionel Messi by other players.
“We have been living with Leo for many years and now we have to find new referrals ”
“ You never imagine you can go. But of course, it's hard for the best player in your history to leave. Even though it was a moment that had to come. It is important to see how the club reacts. The Madrileños, when Cristiano Ronaldo left, also had a very complicated period. We have been living with Leo for many years and now we have to find new references. The problem is, Leo gave you everything. There are players who give you a goal, others one on one, others who have calls, who stand out … Leo did it all. You have to find many players who give you what one gave you, ”said the Spanish defender in an interview for El País.
