Gerard Piqué: "With Bartomeu we felt deceived"

Gerard Piqué didn't hold back on his first live Twitch appearance. After discussing various issues such as his wage cut, the future of FC Barcelona and refereeing in Real Madrid matches, the Catalan defender was asked about his relationship with current president Joan Laporta and how it compares to the one he had with the previous incumbent, Josep Maria Bartomeu.

When asked how he gets on with both of them, he said "There is more 'feeling' with Laporta than with Bartomeu. Various players felt deceived by Bartomeu. Joan treats us with more respect. He is introducing order to the club. We now have certain hierarchies which were missing [during Bartomeu's presidency]".

Piqué also shared an almost-30-year-old video with his followers on Twitter, in which he can be seen asking Ronald Koeman to sign a newspaper on the beach in San Sebastián.
