‘For me it’s a symphony when they whistle me at the Bernabeu’

Piqué: "I was talking to Iker before the Atleti game when they lost 4-0 and I told him 'I hope they score 4 on you'."

"When Madrid played against Juventus in the Champions League semi-final, I was wearing a Gigi Buffon shirt"

Pique says he will leave international football after World Cup (tired of all the bollocks)

Pique had a short sleeve and he cut the ends off.

"la RFEF quiere aclarar que dicho remate solo existe en la camiseta Adidas de mangas cortas, y no en la de mangas largas, que es la que usó Piqué en el encuentro. Esta ausencia de remate puede observarse en la camiseta de su compañero, Sergio Ramos que sí la utilizó larga"

The Royal Spanish Football Federation wishes to show its support to the international footballer Gerard Piqué about the controversy regarding the cut made on his jersey in the match against Albania.

On the contrary to what some malicious comments where the Spanish player was accused of cutting the sleeves of the jersey to avoid wearing the band with the national colours. In this regard, the RFEF wishes to explain that said band on the Adidas jersey only exists in the short sleeve version, and not on the long sleeve, which is the one Piqué used in the match. The absence of the bands can be seen on the intact version of the jersey worn by teammate Sergio Ramos, who did use the long sleeve.

Gerard Piqué cut the sleeve with the sole aim of playing more comfortably, the same way other players have done on many occasions.

The unjustified criticisms towards Gerard Piqué have provoked the player to think of leaving the Spanish National Team after the Russia World Cup: "I have tried everything, but I can't bare this anymore, today's issue of the sleeves is the the straw that breaks the camel. They've managed to make me lose the excitement of coming here and although after Russia I'll only be 31, I'll leave."

That was the point from all the insanity. There was no spanish colors in the sleeves Pique cut. ramos cut his sleeves too, that's not just rolled up. And had them sewed on.

As' director Relaño even issue an apology to Pique, for all that:

Anyway, Spain is a big joke. The whole country was more worried about Pique's sleeves than having a declared bunch of thieves at the government for a while.

Hope we can break up this farse soon.

I don't care about whatever Pique did, its a ridiculous issue thats made too big a deal. I'm just trying to clear that nonsense on Ramos, no matter how much you try to make it so, Ramos (who I am absolutely not a fan of) didn't cut anything off. Its in that very text in the link I posted from the RFEF, I guess you don't speak Spanish. It states that he wore the long sleeve, and kept it so. There is no need to accuse other players of anything just to protect one you like. No one in the press accused Ramos of anything, cause he didn't do anything. The RFEF clarified it too. Done discussing this nonsense.
