Gerard Pique was as honest as he could be after admitting Barcelona need a complete overhaul to start competing for titles again.
It was an abysmal show from Barcelona as they were dismantled 8-2 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Gerard Pique cut a dejected look as he watched his side conceded goal after goal after goal. Bayern could easily have scored more than 10 goals on the evening. The Bundesliga side had a whooping 23 goal attempts on the evening.
Back in June, Lionel Messi voiced out in public saying the club had a lot of holes that needed fixing.
And now, Gerard Pique has echoed those comments from back them with his latest assessment of the problems at the club.
“Shame is the word. You can’t play like that, you can’t play in Europe like that,” the defender said as quoted by the Daily Mail.
“It is neither the first, nor the second, nor the third time. It’s very hard, we all have to reflect.”
“The club needs changes and I’m not talking about the coach, about the players. I don’t want to point at anyone. Structurally we needs changes of all kinds, because it is neither the first, nor the second nor the third time.”
In fact, Pique even claimed he will offer to leave the club if it meant new blood coming in.
“The first one to volunteer will be me, if new blood has to come in and change this dynamic I will be the first to go, to step aside.
“Now we have hit rock-bottom. I think we all have to look and reflect internally and decide what is best for Barca, which is the most important thing.”
It now brings to an end a totally disappointing campaign for Pique and company. In fact, it is the first time Barcelona finish the season without a trophy since 2008.
