Gerard Piqué, the FC Barcelona defender, acknowledged the team’s defeat and the impact of Lionel Messi’s absence in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich. Piqué congratulated Bayern Munich on their superiority in both matches, especially in the second leg where they won 3-0. He mentioned that Barcelona didn’t play badly in the first half, but conceding a goal early in the second half affected them mentally. Piqué admitted that playing without the best player in the world (Messi) made a difference, but he believed that even with Messi, the result might have been similar.
GERARD PIQUÉ: “WITHOUT MESSI, BARCA IS NO LONGER BARCA!”
