Gerard Pique warmly accepts Xavi Hernandez’s invitation to join Barcelona’s La Liga celebrations
As Barcelona approaches a potential La Liga title victory after four years, the anticipation and excitement among the players and fans are palpable. The upcoming match against Espanyol in the Derbi Barceloni holds the key to their championship aspirations.
In light of this crucial encounter, Xavi Hernandez, the Barcelona manager, confirmed that Gerard Pique would be invited to join the club’s celebrations should they secure the title. The celebrations are set to include an open-top bus parade, a tradition reserved for champions. Despite retiring from professional football in November after featuring in six La Liga matches this season, Pique’s contributions to the team have not gone unnoticed.
Pique, in response to Xavi’s invitation, addressed the situation during a Twitch stream on his Kings League channel. He neither confirmed nor denied his attendance, emphasizing that the focus should remain on the task at hand – winning the championship.
“While the invitation is appreciated, we must first focus on winning the title on Sunday. I am currently calm, but our primary objective is to secure the victory.”
This season has been remarkable for Barcelona, particularly in terms of their defensive performances. Pique played a vital role in the team’s success during the matches he participated in, and like every passionate Barcelona supporter, he eagerly desires to see the job completed as quickly as possible. With the title within their grasp, the entire Barcelona community is eagerly awaiting the outcome of the match against Espanyol and the subsequent celebrations that could follow.
