The Barcelona defender responded to journalists on Monday

Gerard Pique responded to questions from journalists on his Twitch channel on Monday after audios were leaked relating to his involvement in the Spanish Supercopa being taken to Saudi Arabia by the RFEF.

Here are his best phrases:

  • "The audios are taken out of context. I am just trying to help the president (Rubiales) have a formula that is logical. Commerical issues have nothing to do with sporting ones. I just took an offer to the RFEF. Before changing the format it was worth €120,000, not it's €40m."
  • "It's all legal. We can debate the morality of it, but the only illegality is the leaking of the audios. In 2019, Kosmos' involvement and the commission was already known."
  • "I have no problem explaining things. Kosmos has business with UEFA, RFEF, LaLiga... It's business for everyone."
  • "Regarding Andorra, we got the place (in a higher division) because we were the only club with the financial and geographical conditions (that applied)."
  • "Officially, the commission is paid by the Saudi government. We don't get paid by the RFEF. It's €4m, 10 percent of the total agreement."
  • "I am fighting hard to compete again, let's see if I am ready for Thursday."
  • "I don't know if they're after me or the RFEF, but what's clear is the leaking is illegal."
  • "I didn't think this would create so much noise. We didn't hide anything. The news came out in 2019 and people knew then. I don't understand (the mess now)."
  • "I spoke with (Rubiales) because he was worried. I transmitted that we had nothing to hide. I would put mu hand in the fire for him: he's not taken any commission. With respect to the (other) audios that will come out, I have zero idea, but I am not worried."
  • "We will take legal action against the publication of the audios"
