Every time Gerard Piqué stands in front of a microphone, things happen. The former Barça player gave an interview to Tiktoker John Nellis in which he had no problem talking about who is the best footballer in the world and about not congratulating former teammate Leo Messi for winning the World Cup in Qatar last year.
On the best player in the world: "As a striker and for various reasons I would say Messi. He is the best in the world right now and I think he is the best ever in this game among those who won the World Cup. It was his dream."
"Iker Casillas, Carles Puyol and Cesc Fàbregas" were his choices for the best goalkeeper, defender and midfielder.
On the eternal debate: Messi or Cristiano: "It is true that the fight between the two of them in the last decade was quite impressive, because both of them did incredibly well. In recent years I would choose Messi for sure. And he showed that even at 35 he can compete. He is the best player in the world and he showed it in the World Cup."
Not congratulating Messi: "Not really. My last few months were hard and I needed to disconnect. I didn't watch any World Cup games, just the final and not the whole game."

Messi will still be the best, with or without his congratulatory message. You can never stop a shining star from shining

He is a pure genius. He knows that if there wasn't help of FIFA to give a penalty in every match, Robber Argentina never ever won this. In every match FIFA gave a penalty at the start of the match. That's how the strategy of the opponents changed forcefully. Rubbish officiating

Lionel Messi's 8 Balon D'or and Ronaldo's 5 are not the same.

He wanted to disconnect from public and social media and focus on solving his problems. He even retired from football as a result of that. This is a strong reason for everyone. If you don't understand, sincerely tell us your age, we'll understand.
