Former Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué has shared his thoughts on the significance of the rivalry between the Blaugrana and Real Madrid.
“Real Madrid and Barcelona need each other for many reasons. This rivalry captivates the international audience, for whom El Clásico is the most important match. This occurs thanks to both Real Madrid and Barcelona.”
“I have always viewed this rivalry as a sporting one, devoid of violence. I am willing to participate in it as long as it remains somewhat dialectical, where you give something but also receive. I enjoy that. It’s all part of the game as long as certain boundaries are not crossed,” Piqué told Cadena Ser.
