"Barcelona" defender Gerard Pique did not spare praise for Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo and insisted that he is the player that Spaniards admire.
Responding to journalists' questions about the royal club yesterday, the 26-year-old footballer also admitted that he is looking forward to the upcoming "El Clasico" match.
"He is a 'machine' that is ambitious, determined, and never stops," the defender said about C.Ronaldo. "I admire Cristiano Ronaldo's game."
"Some say he is the best, but he still wants to be even better. That is one of the reasons why I admire him," Pique continued to praise the forward.
The footballer also added: "Barcelona has always been in the shadow of Real Madrid, but in the last 10 or 15 years, things have changed."
It is worth mentioning that next Saturday, the first match of the season between "Barcelona" and "Real" will take place at the "Camp Nou" stadium.
