Xavi on Gerard Pique !

Xavi Hernandez: "Pique is someone who is committed, who is a winner and who is the first to pull the team forward when there are titles to be won, especially with the national team."

"Sometimes his words and jokes are misinterpreted. I believe that [the whistling during Spain games] is more so a case of him paying the price for having gotten on the wrong side of Real Madrid fans in the past than to it is to do with the Catalan independence issue."
