Yes, Messi didn’t play in the El Clasico due to his right-hand injury. Despite the good performance and victory against Madrid, Gerard Pique still thinks Barcelona need Messi.
Pique wants Messi to recover soon and joins the teammates in Barcelona. However, Pique is delighted because Barcelona could silence the critics of Blaugrana performance without Messi.
Apparently, before the match against Madrid, many people were doubting Barcelona without Messi. No wonder, Messi is the vital player for Barcelona in the last decade. Losing him in the El Clasico would raise the doubt for many.
“When you don’t have the best player on the pitch, everyone has to take a step forward. Everyone was wondering how we would respond since he got injured.”
“We did it as we had to do, by playing as a team. I feel very happy because it’s an important result. But the sooner Messi recovers, the better,” Pique revealed.
