Barcelona Star offers to leave the club after humbling defeat against Bayern
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is willing to leave the club if the board feels he is part of the changes that need to be made in the club after a calamitous ending of the season.
The Catalan giants were thoroughly humiliated by a well-oiled German machine in the form of Bayern Munich as they succumbed to yet another heart breaking exit from the Champions League for the third successive season.
Despite winning 20 major trophies in his 12 year spell with the club, Pique believes there needs to be massive changes and is willing to bite the bullet for the club if necessary.
Speaking immediately after the 8-2 defeat, the World Cup winner described the defeat as “hitting rock bottom” for his club.
“Coaches and players follow one another, but it has been several years since we have been able to be competitive on a European level. We all have to think internally and decide what is best for the club, for Barca. Tonight was unacceptable for Barcelona.
Notably, this was Barcelona’s heaviest defeat in the Champions League and the first time they conceded five goals in a game since 1946.
