Gerard Pique`s grandfather spoke out about the defender`s departure from Barcelona.
- We experienced a lot of emotions. We feel very sad now. It is a mixture of negative and positive feelings. The positive ones are related to how much Gerard has done, and he has done a lot.
This was not the end of our career that we expected - it was forced. I could see that he was very happy but upset because he was ready to continue.
Now I feel inspired. I brought Gerard to this house many years ago. I lived his story - there were moments of love that will be remembered. He leaves Barcelona like a gentleman, and he really is that kind of person. Those who do not know him personally have no right to criticize him.
- No, Gerard Pique would never leave Barcelona in pain. Like our whole family, he is a Barca fan. We`ve been cules all our lives. Barca is our life, our history. He would never leave Barca like that. Barca is one thing, but the people there are another.
Pique leaves in a hurry because that`s his character. This is not a bench player. Having spent so many years at the club, he was not used to being on the bench. No matter what they say, he showed until the last minute that he was ready to play. This is a sporting issue, this must be accepted.
Barcelona is one thing, but the people there are another. For us, Barca is home. We will never be hurt by decisions made by the club. Now Pique will concentrate on Andorra, this project excites him. His dream is to take Andorra to La Liga, " said Amador Bernabeu, who previously served as vice-president of Barcelona.
