Piqué: "If we only tried to win the Champions League, it'd be suicide"

Gerard Pique believes that in order to win the Champions League you first need to win LaLiga. "I suppose it's the most important title available for Europe's biggest teams."

However he doesn't think the club should make the European trophy their main objective. "To only try and win the Champions League would be suicide. In the way we operate, we're stronger when we don't let everything ride on a single match." In this way, it's when Pique added: "If we concentrate on LaLiga, it's better, because it's the measuring stick we use to see where we currently stand."

In fact, Pique brought up a very valid point: "Barça have never won the Champions League without winning LaLiga too. If we focus on LaLiga, we'll win the Champions League." And the defender was quick to point out that concentrating on the league didn't mean the club was lacking a certain characteristic either. "Barça's style of play doesn't lack anything. We become very strong in regular competitions, where we play a lot of matches and not a single final where it's a coin flip."

"There are teams who base their season on the opposite to us and it could serve them well, but it's different playing in LaLiga than the Champions League. It's been shown that if we perform well in LaLiga, we'll perform well in Europe too," concluded Pique.
