Gerard Pique, 31, having spent 10 years at Barcelona has said that he will not be speculating a retirement season like his former teammate Carlos Puyol.
Pique via Barcelona’s official Youtube channel said that he felt really lucky to be at Barcelona and really enjoyed being there:
“You have to make sacrifices here at Barca, especially playing at the back because of the way we play, sometimes you get the blame.
“You know the competition is always there, the best players in the world and you have to fight for your place.
“It’s 10 years now so each new year is another to enjoy. I am not going to be like Puyol and say I’m going to be here for another 10 years until I’m 40; the next year he had to retire!

“I’ll enjoy each year as it comes and when it’s time, it’s time.”
“Looking back, really positive. I could not have hoped to win what I have, to have played so much, to have been important. I have really enjoyed it, just like the others.
“I feel really lucky and am really enjoying being here.
“There will come a day when I have to raise up my hand and leave but until that day comes, I’ll continue enjoying it as much as I can.”
