Gerard Pique tells Barcelona to name new stadium after Lionel Messi

Gerard Pique had a pretty interesting interview this week. In a chat with La Vanguardia, Pique discussed renaming the Camp Nou after a legendary Barca player and discussed Messi wanting to leave this summer.

“Leo has more than earned the right to make a decision and if he felt he should leave... as president I would have acted differently. A player that has given so much in 16 years, you’re obliged to reach an agreement with him.

“[But] how can it be that the best player in history gets up one day and sends a burofax because he feels he’s not being listened to?
