Piqué wants to retire as the main emblem of Barcelona: When would he leave football and what does he expect from his last years as a footballer?

Goodbye could be near. In the preview of Sunday's Classic between Barcelona and Real Madrid for LaLiga Santander, Gerard Piqué attended the press and not only admitted that he already saw the retirement of professional football, he also praised Vinicius Junior, Karim Benzema and gave him the favorite poster to the whites. The center-back was quite self-critical although at the same time safe, and even confident for the duel at the Camp Nou.

“With age, and when you have lived a bit of everything, you prefer stability, to be calm. Familiarly I'm great, in the team too. I'm fine. I still keep the Gerard that rebel who gets into puddles but I'm enjoying it. I know that I have little left and I do not know how much. I have to enjoy", said Piqué.

Gerard Piqué is at Barcelona, one of the greatest standards in history. It is true, he shared a team with great footballers, such as Charles Puyol, Xavi Hernández, Iniesta or Lionel Messi, with whom he was champion of absolutely everything he had to play with.

Today, he is going through one of his worst football moments, in a Barcelona that is in full transition. Without going any further, together with Sergio Busquets, they are the two most important assets of a squad that has many young players taking their first steps. Will he settle for guiding them, or will he seek to be champion again?
