Pique thanks Ronaldo party singer
The centre-back could not resist taking a swipe at
Real Madrid after Sunday's parade, while Luis
Enrique paid tribute to Xavi
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique thanked Cristiano
Ronaldo 's party guest Kevin Roldan as the
Catalans celebrated winning the treble on Sunday.
Ronaldo caused huge consternation among Real
Madrid fans when he opted to go ahead with his
30th birthday celebrations hours after his side
were thrashed 4-0 by Atletico Madrid in Feburary.
Colombian singer Roldan, who performed at the
event, insisted afterwards that the reaction had
been over the top , after fans became incensed
when photos of some Blancos players partying
circulated on social media.
Barca went on to beat Madrid to the Liga title and
sealed an incredible treble when they won the
Champions League on Saturday and, as the team
paraded their successes to supporters on Sunday ,
Pique could not resist a swipe at his side's bitter
rivals.
"We are the best team in the world! Thanks to all
and thanks to Kevin Roldan, it all started with you,"
he told dans at Camp Nou.
Head coach Luis Enrique thanked the supporters
for sticking by the team during their difficult start
to 2015 and paid tribute to Xavi, who is now
bound for Qatar.
"The ambition of these players has no limit," Luis
Enrique said. "You and I know it has not been an
easy path, with a lot of difficulties.
"We asked for your support when things went
wrong and that was what happened, you have been
with us. Thank you. We keep making history and
we'll try to do it again in the future.
"Xavi is a great player, but also a great person, he
has always given his support to the team."
Xavi himself added: "We have the treble! Thanks
for your presence here at the stadium and in the
parade... It has been amazing. Thanks to Luis
Enrique, to the staff and also to the team for this
season. Thanks a lot, I'll miss you."
Andres Iniesta, the man of the match in the 3-1
final win over Juventus, gave a special mention to
his home town as well as Catalunya on the whole.
"I feel very proud to belong to this team.
Congratulations to the team, to the club. Visca
Barca, visca Catalunya and visca Fuentealbilla."
