FC Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has called for a stop to the unfair criticism on his club.
It has been a difficult year for Barcelona. Apart from questions raised over the style of play, the club has also had to contend with accusations of corruption raised against club president Sandro Rosell over the purchase of Brazilian striker Neymar, while Lionel Messi was also accused of tax evasion.
For Pique, never a man to hold back his opinions, it is more than just coincidence behind all of these accusations. ‘We are being attacked from all sides. There has to come a moment when you have to say enough is enough,’ he said.
Pique was also asked about Barca’s arch rival, Real Madrid, who have won just one BBVA Primera Liga title and one Copa del Rey in the past five seasons as Barca have dominated the Spanish league. ‘It is difficult for Real Madrid to see how their rival wins so many titles. We lived through the same situation and it is very difficult.’
