The situation in Spain and Catalonia is becoming very sharp and complex. Catalans want to separate from Spain, so a referendum was held in the country.
"Barcelona" team and Spanish national team defender Gerard Pique supported the Catalonia referendum, but received a controversial reaction for it.
The disgruntled footballer stated that if he is causing problems, he is willing to sacrifice and withdraw from the national team. However, the player already plans to end his career in the Spanish national team after the 2018 World Cup.
"If I can cause problems and irritate some of the directors of the Spanish Football Association and the national team, then I am ready to withdraw from it," - said G. Pique.
In the matches of the "Barcelona" team at the "Camp Nou" stadium, it was empty. Due to aggressive behavior outside the stadium, the "Camp Nou" doors were closed.
"I am proud of the Catalan people. However, this was one of the worst experiences in my life," - the footballer spoke with tears in his eyes.
