Piqué and the former patron Bartomeu: “I defended him like an imbecile but he lied to me”

Still some slag – and it could not be otherwise – between Gerard Piqué and the former patron of the Barcelona Joseph Maria Bartomeu. The former president had not left the presidency of the club in the best possible way, also remaining involved in various situations that were not exactly “happy”. One of these is the so-called Barcagate.

Speaking to The Wild Projectthe blaugrana defender Gerard Piqué he vented harshly precisely about that situation that saw the most prominent players being “mistreated” via social media with the full awareness of the president as well. “Bartomeu is a person who can’t say no and who doesn’t know how to deal with problems. Lately we never saw him at Ciutat Esportiva. I got angry with him because he lied to me about Barçagate. He told me he didn’t know anything and then I discovered that he knew everything, he did the same with Messi. That was a grave and unacceptable lie, just as I was defending him like an imbecile“, the statements of Pique on the former patron.
